Inexspensive Gift Boxes
Save those cereal and cracker boxes and use them as gift boxes. Just flatten them and once in a while, decorate one for Christmas or birthdays. Apply Gesso or white primer, or craft paint and decorate to your heart's content. Let your imagination go wild. When you are done decorating, and ready to use for a gift, use double stick tape to fasten the bottom of the box and put your gift inside, loosely wrapped with tissue paper. Then seal the other side with more double stick tape and either wrap as other gifts or just put a name tag on the festive gift box as it is.
