Gift Wrap Kit

1. You need to select a gift wrap organizer--hanging gift wrap organizer, or an under-the-bed plastic bin (figure A).

2. Besides the organizer or under-the-bed bin, you could even use a large tote bag or shopping bag. You can even get creative and tie ribbons around the handles of the bag to hold your tape and scissors (figure B).

3. Next, you need to assemble the contents. You need the following supplies:
   • Several rolls of basic, solid paper--that would work well for all occasions
     
   • A few rolls of ribbon
     
   • Assorted tissue paper
     
   • Sharp pair of scissors
     
   • Tape
     
   • Tags
     
   • Fun assorted embellishments (stickers)
     
   • Markers and pens
     
   • Basic brown paper lunch bags and/or gift bags

Note: When wrapping gifts, get creative. You can use the funny papers to wrap gifts, or use plain brown paper bags and add stickers, etc.
