With Christmas right around the corner, you don't have to purchase wrapping paper to gift wrap...just raid your pantry and re-purpose these items :-)
MASON or Other Lidded Glass Jars: These are ideal for holding homemade candy, nuts and other small bites. A ribbon around the top makes it extra special.
BROWN PAPER BAGS: Use lunch sacks or cut apart large bags to make useful wrapping paper. Add an extra touch with paint pen figures.
SHOE, JEWELRY AND OTHER BOXES: Pick a box based on the size or the amount of your to be gifted treats. Line it with tissue paper or wax paper. No one will notice what the box originally held.
TEA OR DISH TOWELS OR CLOTH NAPKINS: If you have spares---or one in a set that is not stained--bundle it around your sealed baked goods and tie with kitchen twine. An old recipe card makes a perfect gift tag too.
OATMEAL CANISTERS: Cylinders are great for small items, and easy to wrap too. Roll in paper, cut it and tape, or create "candy wrapper" ends by gathering excess paper on either side of the tube with ribbon.
