Figure A Figure B Figure C Figure D Figure E Figure F Figure G Figure H Figure I Figure J Figure K Figure L Have you ever wanted to make gift-wrap yourself to match the colors and design of the gift you're giving? Debbie Stapley, host of HGTV's Crafts and Company , shows how to make unique, inexpensive wrapping paper. Dyed Tissue Paper Materials: Tissue paper (or paper towels, rice paper) Food coloring Bowls Water Measuring spoons Place 2 tablespoons of water in each of three bowls. Squeeze two generous squirts of a different food coloring into each bowl. Swirl to mix the water and food coloring. Fold a piece of tissue paper in half. Then fold it in half again, creating quarters. Fold the quartered paper diagonally twice ( figure A ). Then fold the center corner at right angles to the rest of the paper ( figure B ). Or fold the paper accordion style ( figure C ). Fold the two smaller ends at right angles to create corners ( figure D ). Dip each of the corners into a different food-color-and-water mixture ( figure E ). Carefully unfold the tissue paper: it's fragile when wet. Hang it up to dry. Wrap a package with the tissue paper. The designs will be brightly colored and random ( figure F ). Tip: Use white tissue paper to get truer colors in the design ( figure G ). Decorated Brown-Paper Bags Materials: Brown-paper grocery bag Paper-backed iron-on adhesive Fabric Pattern from a coloring book or drawn freehand Paper Pencil Scissors Iron Dimensional paint Rickrack, ribbon or raffia Tissue paper Select a pattern from a coloring book, or draw a design freehand. Debbie used a star. Cut out a paper pattern of the desired design. Trace the design onto the paper-backed iron-on adhesive. Cut out the design. Iron the adhesive design onto the back of the fabric. Cut out. Peel the backing away from the adhesive, and iron the fabric design to the front of a paper bag. Outline the design with dimensional paint. Tie rickrack or ribbon around the top of the paper bag to gather. Stuff tissue paper inside the bag ( figure H ). Here are some other looks: Select fabric with a design, cut out one of the motifs, and glue it onto the bag. Tie raffia around the top of the bag. Stuff the inside of the bag with tissue paper and more raffia ( figure I ). Wrap a package with a map. Cut narrow strips from the map paper. Tie grosgrain ribbon around the center of a bunch of the strips, and tie them to the top of the package. Create a curly bow from map strips by pulling the blade of a scissors under each strip. Leave some of the strips straight for variety. Make loops from the ribbon ends, and hot-glue them to the top of the package ( figure J ). Tie nylon tulle around a package instead of ribbon. Wrap a package in colorful comics from the Sunday newspaper. Cut wavy strips from solid-color gift-wrap to tape around the package in place of ribbon ( figure K ). Rubber-stamp plain brown paper, and wrap the package. Tie on a colorful bow ( figure L ). Glue doilies onto solid-color gift-wrapping paper. Tie a colorful scarf around a gift box, and knot the ends together. Punch decorative shapes in a brown-paper bag. Stuff it with colorful tissue paper that can be seen through the punched holes.

Customer comments "Dear folks,In today's culture of complain about everything and get your money back, it's not very often that someone takes the time to say thank you. Well, i would like to right that wrong! On Tuesday i ordered and paid for a star name from your website. I was informed that it would take upto five working days so was not expecting delivery until next week. Imagine my surprise when the postman delivered it this morning (Thursday) just two days later. This was purchased as a wedding gift from my four year old daughter to her Aunt & Uncle as she is their little star and also their flower girl. The whole experience of buying from your website (and subsequent prompt delivery) has been such a breath of freshair. Keep up the good work and i look forward to buying from your site again."

Most often, the question is about paper as a first anniversary gift. Here are some ideas: Nice writing paper, cards, etc. -- basically, any kind of paper that you write on. If this doesn't seem like enough, you can always include a nice pen. Books. Big coffee-table books, antique books, the latest novels -- any kind of books. Fine art or photography prints (to hang on the wall). Many newlywedsdon't have much hanging on their walls. A photo album, or a framed picture. Anything made of cardboard -- you can stretch the definition of paper if you want to. Tickets to the theater, sporting event, etc. A gift certificate -- homemade or commercial Page last modified: Sunday, May 16, 2004 Comments? Return Home
