Being the Frugal Mom I try to be, I don't like to pay much, if anything to wrap gifts, but the crafter in me still wants the packages to look nice.  These are some of the things I do:

• Wrap with Brown paper bag and use rafia, paper twist, homespun, or ribbon to tie around the package and tie in a bow.

• Use brown paper lunch bags for small gifts, fold over a few times, punch 2 holes with paper punch and tie closed with rafia or ribbon.

• Wrap gifts in scraps of wallpaper. I bought 2 rolls of Daisy Kingdom wallpaper for .10 each at a thrift store and use it to wrap gifts for smaller children or babies.
