Make a Pretty Package
 
   

Cut up file folders for a fresh pop of pattern.
Cut a wide band from a translucent folder;
cut a same-size band of white paper
for the backing.
Layer the papers on the package
and tape in back.
Wrap extra-large rubber bands
on the long edges of the bands.
Spell out a message with press-on vinyl letters.,

 
       
Add A Tag

Recycle an old Christmas card
by cutting a swatch from the design
and gluing to the tag.
