I ran out of tape but I still have wrapping paper and gifts to wrap ASAPWhat should I do
Use a long empty box like one that contained aluminum foilPut gift inside, wrap box tie generous ends, similar to BCNU's method If you have any attractive bags, either fabric or vinyl shopping bags, use those; otherwise, paper with holiday stickers would doI used to buy pastel paper lunch bags would use thoseTie the open endFor extra stickers, cut decorative ends off address labels use thoseIf you have a stapler, you can make a gift bag from colored paper or wrapping paperEither tie or staple at the open end Punch holes in gift tags that aren't self stick so you can tie them onYou can also punch holes to insert a draw string or ribbon or cordGift tags can be made from 3 x 5 cards or any lightweight cardboard with a writing surfacePunch hole to tie on Even a brown paper bag with stickers on it could be cute with holes punched jute cord used as a drawstringTie on anything you want.a tiny toy or an ornament or mistletoe or other greenery Decorate an envelope with crayons or marking pens stickersInsert small giftSeal envelope flapThis was a fun questionI enjoyed reading other people's answers, tooDid you post it in the Environment Holiday categories, too? You can also make your own shredded packing paper for a boxRun some paper, pastel or gift, through a paper shredder you'll have packing strips of paperTissue paper won't go in the recycle bins, but this will in our town anywayYou can use paper from a print shop next to the photocopy machines (ask permission) or you can use paper that comes in the mailbox as junk mailHowever, I like the mixed pastel paper the best for cutting these stripsCount it as a bonus if it's from the office where you workSome of the colors can also be used in your garden compost with the kitchen waste.
