Musical Gift Wrapping

A great craft night activity is to make gift wrap with friends. My sister, Devin, is purging all her CDs so we fashioned ribbons out of liner notes for our Christmas gifts. This creative reuse of found materials is a clever way to save money on gift wrap and works especially well if one is gifting music or something related. It is also just unexpected and can be easily personalized to the taste of the gifted. All you need to make gift wrap magic is paper bags, album art or any visually pleasing paper laying about (i.e. pages from magazines), scissors, tape, stapler and glue. Here are some I made from Talking Heads CDs and a British Invasion compilation.
