Easy Homemade Wrapping Paper.

Rocky and Chai trying to guess what's in the package (it's legos).

My favorite way to wrap something is by using a paper bag. You simply cut down one corner until you reach the bottom of the bag, cut out the bottom and then wrap your package as you normally would. It's durable enough to send like that in the mail usually too. The best part about it isn't that you're using something you already have around the house or that it's free, it's that you can draw on it!

Jake's nephew is turning 4 this month so I stamped the paper with cute little woodland creatures and not so scary bears from stampinup! and off it went. It took all of 5 minutes and is sure to get a reaction out of an inquisitive little boy. 

For larger presents, I use a roll of kraft paper which is really inexpensive and allows me to personalize every package, or change the paper with the seasons without having to spend an exorbitant amount of money on holiday wrapping paper.
