Day eight of Handmade Christmas Challenge- Gift wrap and tags

If you are making your own gifts then you don’t have to go out and buy gift wrap and tags for those gifts.  Here are lots of ideas and printable gift tags for you.

This one is dear to me since I do this exact thing when I give gifts.  I also sew some drawstring gift bags to put my gifts in.  Here is a nice tutorial from Zakka Life.

Of course we have all heard of (or used) newspaper, I especially love the funnies for gift wrapping and brown grocery paper bags for gifts (can you say paper or plastic?) but what about using an old map.  With the world map changing lately you may have one that is not current anymore.
Here is a recycled paper bow to go with your recycled gift wrap.  This is a great use for those old flyers or magazines laying around.  Hey you could even use chip bags or sales flyers.
If you are giving a CD or DVD here is a great paper flower case to put it in.
Need a box for your gift, here is a tutorial from instructables on using a cereal box.

To go with all the homemade gift wrap and bows here is a tutorial on gift envelopes which you could make out of what ever you like.
I have found lots of printable gift tags for your gifts:
Vintage looking tags and lots more, here, here, and here.
The point to this challenge is to shop at home and see what you have that you can use, now get to work!

    Good day, sun shines!There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person. I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money. It's all about how to select a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way – that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:http://theblogmoney.com

    We had the deaths of the parents of two very good friends back to back in two different cities and that put a halt on my blogging. I have spent every extra minute making gifts for our 8 children, friends and relatives. So sorry to all my readers who were counting on me for this challenge but it has been a challenging December.MommaRae- Thank you for your concern.
