Personalized Wrapping Paper and Gift Tags

There were a few years where money was very scarce, and I ran out of Christmas wrapping paper. I found white freezer paper, and made use of old Christmas cards, family pictures and would draw or paint on the packages. It was fun and creative, you can also add a poem or write something.

When I run out of Christmas labels now or just want to be creative, I will take a piece of the wrapping paper, cut it in a square, rectangle or any shape and fold it over. I take pretty ribbon (wire ribbon works well), put a strip over the label, scissor a V at the end, and staple the top so it doesn't show, then put the name of the recipient inside the little card label. Makes a beautiful package and people enjoy the personalization as well.

RE: Personalized Wrapping Paper and Gift Tags

I have always taken my Xmas cards from the years before and cut them to make name tags for my gifts at Xmas. It has worked very well. You can fold it in half and write on the inside or just cut around the design and write on the front. Then use a paper punch to make a hole and attach to the gift with a ribbon. You'll always have plenty on hand.
