Gift Wrapping With a Manilla Envelope

"Now we're going to cut open this manila envelope and turn it into wrapping paper. First off we want to preserve this flap, because that's an important part of the design, so we're just going to cut that off and set it aside. Next, let's just cut the folds off the one side and along the bottom as well. We'll leave the other side connected so that we're sure that we have enough paper to wrap our gift, looks like we'll have more than enough to wrap this frame. So let's put our frame in the center here, and take a quick look where we want to cut, right here should be good, terrific. We'll just tape this up real quick. This is a fun gift idea, gift wrapping idea, to give to somebody in the office or to somebody who has a new job, or a graduate, or for Father's Day, it's a nice masculine wrap. With a little bit of supervision, it's one that the kids can do and really enjoy the results of. I came up with this idea when I had a wrapping emergency and I needed a masculine gift wrapping idea, and I just was completely lost, I didn't know what to do, and I was thinking "Well, I'll just stick the present in a manila envelope and tie on a bow". And then it occurred to me "No, I will wrap the present in the manila envelope", and it was the hit of the party. I've been excited to share this with you. I'm going to just trim that off so there's not a lot of bulk when we fold it over. It's still a little bulky, but it'll be okay. Terrific! Okay, next we're going to use the flap and the hole punches to make the embellishments."
