Holiday Freebie! Christmas Gift Wrap & Gift Tags

It's almost another Christmas season, and already my pockets don't seem to go that deep. Still, it's the time for giving --- and I've lots of giving to do. So I've decided to save a few pennies by NOT BUYING what all gifts come with --- gift wrap and gift tags. DIY Eco-Friendly Gift Wrap: Thanks to Creature Comforts (http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/) for this inspiring idea. It's an elegant take on gift-wrapping; and the best part -- you can find the materials needed at your local supermarket. PLUS -- it's an eco-friendly alternative to buying traditional gift wrap.

I love how it turns out to be so classy yet simple. To make it more festive, you can switch the acrylic paint to reds and greens.

How do you stretch your dimes during the Holidays?
