Packing Paper Gift Wrap


Bronze Tip Medal for All Time! 59 Tips

Tying the plain box with paper ribbon.I always have a lot of packing paper from home deliveries and thought I'd use some of it to wrap gifts for Christmas this year. The paper is very strong and also lends itself well for making 'ribbon' for gifts.

Packing paper can be used in so many ways. I've used it to protect a table when painting/gluing & it also works well for shelf paper on wire shelves. It can be used instead of paper towels for cleaning windows, use it to support your knee length boots, put some inside shoes to absorb moisture and prevent mildew/odors, to support the shape of your handbags when in storage, to protect your floors during pet training, to line pet cages, use for note pads, garden mulch & compost, wrap your fruits/vegetables to speed up the ripening process, make tiny seedling containers that can be planted, make a kid friendly table covering, book covers, use for craft projects like paper mache or constructing baskets, and also for lighting a fire in a fire pit or while camping.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

Packing paper from a package.
 

Steps:

  1. 30 X 6 inches of packaging paper was used to make a ribbon for the 5 inch gift box. I crumpled the paper 'ribbon' slightly and then tied it around the box into a knot and cut the ends into 'strips' for a more 'rustic' look.
  2. A long piece of packing paper.
