Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Wrapping paper can take many different forms. Things around the house that you never thought of make great wrapping paper. This makes it quick, recyclable and cheap. Wrapping paper could be things like tin foil, paper grocery bags, comic strip paper (color) or the mesh plastic bag in which you buy oranges.

  2. Step 2

    Ribbon can be inexpenive, too. Use things like household string, used ribbon from past gifts, grass, or old thread or yarn from craft projects.

  3. Step 3

    Extra decoration can be an unlimited amount of things around the house, such as flowers from plants, dried flowers from old arrangements, tin foil animals or shapes, or an old necktie.

  4. Step 4

    Take all these ingredients and mix and match to create a very unique, quick and environmentally friendly gift.
