Up-Cycle Gift Wrap Idea: "Welcome to the World!"
We love to use baskets for baby gifts (so they can be re-used for storage), but sometimes the present just doesn’t fit (e.g., comes already in a box). This is a simple and quick way to wrap a gift to welcome a new arrival and re-use materials.
you'll need Materials
- Map
- Clear Tape
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Hole Punch
- Print-out of gift tag or make your own
Directions
- Re-purpose an old map by wrapping a baby gift in it.
- Since a map often has many folds in it, it a forgiving material for children learning to wrap gifts.
- Once it is all wrapped up, add a lovely fabric ribbon and a print-out of our gift tag WelcometotheWorld (There are spots for names and multiple copies for future use or multiple births!) or make your own.
Purpose
- Re-using materials for a different purpose
- Thinking of others
Safety Notes
- If you need to trim the map, using scissors, do so with adult supervision
