Not only are they thrifty-but these boxes are a perfect size and shape for filling with Christmas goodies. Rescue your aluminum foil, and saran wrap boxes from the recycle bin and put them to work for you-creating a lovely and unique gift. A simple but thoughtful gift for a teacher, hair dresser, dog groomer, neighbor, as a hostess gift or put one in the mailbox to thank your faithful mail carrier. You can fill it with small cookies, candies, nuts, mints, clementines or it would even be a fun for a child filled with small toys. This would also make a great project to include your child in creating- use plain brown shipping wrap and let them color, stamp or place stickers to cover the box prior to wrapping.

Supplies Needed:

• Aluminum or Plastic wrap box
• wrapping paper
• ribbon, raffia, or string
• tissue paper
• glue stick
• scissors
• 2 brads

Directions:

1. Start by removing the blade from your box.
2. Lay the box on wrapping paper, loosely wrap and cut the paper so that it is slightly- about 1” longer than box all around.
3. Spread glue all over the top flap of the box.
4. Press paper onto box, smoothing out all air bubbles- leaving excess paper inside the box that reaches into the “cavity” of the box, where your treats will go.
5. Glue the next section of the box, and continue all the way around, pressing out the bubbles as you go.
6. Glue the inside flap and again press the paper down.
7. Fold the box ends inward, like you would a present, as in the photo-secure with glue.
8. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the center of the top flap, and close to the bottom at the base of the box.
9. Insert a brad and secure it by spreading the tines open.
10. Place a layer of tissue paper in the bottom of the box.
11. Fill box with desired filler.
12. Tie ribbon or raffia to one brad to secure it, wrap around the other end several times to hold closed.
13. Top with a bow and gift tag to complete your gift.
