Quick and Inexpensive Halloween Gift Wrap...

Halloween is a few weeks away and I wanted to mail a goodie package to my daughter Kelsie in Disney World. The box was filled with all sorts of things, but one box of goodies was for all her roommates. I wrapped that box with a few things I had around the house and wanted to share the ideas with you.

Easy Halloween gift wrap…

Plain white craft paper you buy on the roll, black tulle (the kind on a 6 inch roll) and plastic fangs!!

I bought these fangs at Walmart…12 for 97 cents. That's 8 cents a piece

 I tied the bow and then just slipped a couple loops through the teeth.

Scary chic…

Add a spider in there too!

I also wanted to make gift tags for all the goodies. I found this book of scrapbooking paper in the clearance rack. It's perfect for Halloween, because it's all black and white designs.

The best part is the paper is 8 1/2" x 11" which is standard paper size and great for a printer.

This paper has  the design on one side…

and white on the other.

I used Word to insert a circle the same size as one of my paper punches…2 inch circle.

The black arrow is pointing to the "insert shape" button.

I copied and pasted 12 tags.

Just add it to the gift with a ribbon.

Here is one idea I used in the goodie box.

Inexpensive cups (4 for $1) from Walmart filled with candy and more fangs.

Wrap them in cellophane bags and tie off with a bow.

Don't forget the tags.

  3. So cute! I wish I could send a package to Julia. Pete wouldn't appreciate all that cuteness, but I think I'll send him some candy.
