Everything that is ready for wrapping should be assembled so that you need not stop once you start, and, of course, while youre inspired. Here are Suggestions For Personalizing Gifts Are you giving some feminine hankies or a bit of lingerie? You dont need a box if you will wrap the gift between a sheet of white tissue paper and enclose it in a wrapper made of two paper lace doilies held together by red ribbon laced through holes in the paper and tied in a bow. On top you might place a large sticker of Santa Claus, or one cut from an old greeting card pasted with cement. For musical friends, you might wrap a present in plain paper and then paste a carol from an old card on top. If desired, you can paste ribbon cut appropriately for a staff, cleff and notes on top of the box. If you know someone with a favorite flower, you might be able to cut these out of odd bits of wallpaper and paste on a box wrapped in plain white paper. A spray run through the middle, and ribbon ties on either side are effective.. Any child is fond of Santa Claus pictures. After wrapping a gift in plain red and white paper, half and half, make small bows and paste these on the package with Santa stickers.

One of the simplest ways to do this is to use plain white tissue paper. Youll also need ruler and colored wax crayons. Spread the paper out and make stripes, plaids or checks, and other designs, too, in whatever colors you want. Some lines should be light and others dark for really beautiful effects. Then, too, you might like to make starch paper for gift wrapping. For this youll need white or light colored wrapping paper. Cut it In a size, like 18x24 inches, for ease in making. Make a batch of clear, thin cooked starch free from lumps and divide into several different bowls. Color each with food coloring. Let the starch dry and then press on the wrong side with a warm iron, and youre ready to use the paper for wrapping. Use a brush or a sponge and spread the starch thinly over the paper. Then using fingers or a stick, make designs with a free hand, clouds, trees, waves or whatever is desired. You might also like to hanging shelves in the room, remove the decorations temporarily and use them for Christmas figures or candles molded into figures The whole shelf or shadow box can then be wrapped in glistening cellophane for hanging. If you have plain drapes or cornices, display your cards on these or hang Christmas balls on them for specially festive appearance.
