Homemade Gift Wrap

From , former About.com Guide

Instead of using pretty, expensive wrapping paper for birthday gifts, I have my kids (8 and 3 years old) draw and paint on paper that we get our parcels wrapped in. People enjoy seeing the girls' artwork. You could also save the artwork they do on other paper and use it for wrapping presents. - Submitted by Sue
