25 Gift Wrapping Ideas from the Recycling Bin and Beyond

Hey, it’s Cecily from Ceci Bean with a special holiday round up for you. I love beautiful gift wrapping, don’t you? I am totally the person who tries to gingerly remove the tape from pretty paper and carefully unknot fancy ribbon so that I might keep it. Sure, I use inexpensive gift wrap from the local drugstore in a pinch, but I feel such satisfaction from presenting friends and family with a well wrapped present. The only thing I don’t love? The price tag! Beautiful gift wrapping materials can be really pricey! And with a baby on the way, I need to save my pennies this holiday season. With that in mind, I have vowed not to spend a penny on new gift wrapping supplies for the rest of the year. In order to satisfy my creativity, I have looked for ways to wrap special presents without breaking the bank. Here are 25 fabulous ideas for wrapping gifts with items you probably already have in your home.[/tps_header]

    LOVE so many of these! I’m going to be pinning them to my gift wrap board. Love using sewing for a lot of these. Really makes you stop and look at what’s laying around the house and how it can be used in this way.
