"Hello, my name's Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village, today we are going to be talking about how to wrap your Christmas present cost effectively. In this clip let's talk about wrapping your Christmas presents with something called "cracked paper". Cracked wrapping paper is something many people use to mail their gifts but what you can do is get roll of cracked wrapping paper which is much cheaper than regular wrapping paper because of course it's brown and it has no design on it. But what you can do is take some time and spend some time either yourself or perhaps your children, and you can lay the cracked paper out and decorate any way you want with crayons and markers or paint, finger-paint, whatever you like but it gives you a chance to spend some time with your kids to be creative. And it's also really cost effective way of using something very simple. You can lay it out on the table. Make it into a multi-tablecloth. You can have a bunch of kids working on this for you and make some really neat holiday designs.
