Free Holiday Gift Wrap


Finding last-minute gift ideas is hard enough, but what about gift wrap? For last-minute holiday gift wrap, turn to the Internet and the home. Free wrapping paper is a download away in many cases, along with free templates for gift bags and gift boxes. Foil paper can be made from simple items found in most homes. Wrapping presents seconds before giving them isn't a crime, and it doesn't need to be hard. Turn to the Internet and check out these simple ideas.

Foil Paper and More

Before turning on the computer, consider free items in the house. Foil paper is a popular, and somewhat pricey, wrapping supply in stores for the holiday season. The shimmering silver and gold colors are festive and fun, but for last-minute wrapping store-bought supplies don't help. Turn to the aluminum foil in the kitchen for a nearly-free, quick solution! Wrap the present in "foil paper" the same way that one wraps a present with traditional giftwrap. Top with a ribbon or bow for a simple, elegant look.

Good old Sunday comics are a standby wrapping solution if foil paper isn't possible. Dig through the recycling bin, find the funnies, and get free wrapping paper! If the comics are already recycled, or lining a cat's litter box, then turn to the computer and check out these online wrapping supply ideas.

Free Wrapping Paper and Giftwrap

HP.com is a one-stop free wrapping paper center. Follow the suggested steps for the specific project (birthday, holiday, Christmas) and for the type of wrapping (gift bags, giftwrap, gift box). The printable templates do recommend using HP's brochure paper, but printing on normal printer paper can produce a perfectly fine result.

If a present is too large for one printed 8" x 11" sheet, print more and tape the sheets together, then cut to fit for the item. Print in color to get results that are true to the template, or in black and white and hand-color the paper (or have children do the work) for a more personal touch.

How To Make Small Gift Bags

A handmade gift bag, small or large, show the affection for the recipient by the gift giver -- and bag maker. Add a pretty handle and contrasting tissue paper inside for a special touch and it rates up there with expensive store versions. Wallpaper sample book papers or heavy wrapping paper are excellent for these small bags because of their strength, themes, beauty, colors and textures. This project is great for children and adults.





Step 1

Take one sheet of paper from an expired wallpaper sample book (about 12 by 17 inches) or similarly sized heavy wrapping paper and fold in half lengthwise, right side out. Make sure the edges are straight; if not, cut with scissors to remove ragged edges. Open the sheet and fold 2 inches down from the top along the width, right side in. Refold lengthwise. With a hot glue gun, seal the edges along the length of the bag. Let cool.



Step 2

Lay the bag flat and fold in the bottom corners of the bag in like a triangle by 1 inch and then fold the bottom up by 1 inch. Fold up again by 1 inch and seal the bottom with a hot glue gun to secure the seam. Let cool. Punch two holes on either side on the top of the bag 1 inch down. Insert the ends of a cord (length appropriate for the bag size to create a handle). Tie a knot on each cord on the inside of the bag and secure with a hot glue gun.

Step 3

Open the bag and insert with a sheet of contrasting color tissue paper. Add small gifts or items and cover with tissue corners, leaving parts extended above the opening of the bag. Add embellishments on the outside of the bag if desired such as bows, fabric flowers, beads or buttons to enhance the bag and make it extra special.
