Using Paper for Gift Wrapping with Recycled Items

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village. Today I'm giving you some ideas to use recycled items to wrap your Christmas gifts. Again, you can choose any sort of paper that you have laying around. I decided to use one of my sheets from my scrap booking calender. I never used it, I didn't write on it and rather than throwing it away I might as put it to some good use. If you don't have anything like this, you can use any calender or wrapping paper or you can draw a picture. Whatever page or magazine that is pretty and colorful whatever you think works is fine and you just take the gift card and sort of eyeball around how much paper you're going to need. Then you just cut it. This happens to be a very good shape or size for the project that I'm making so I'm just going to go ahead and cut like that and one more time around. Just leave a little bit trimmed so that you we can finish that you have room just to slip it in. So you're going to cut it like that and then we'll take the other one. This is actually a good piece cause it has its own little natural square that it can follow. Now that we have our two pieces, we're going to bring them together and I'll show you how in the next clip."
