Cheap & easy way to wrap those strange-shaped gifts

A few years ago, I had a bunch of random things to wrap for Christmas.  Stuff that would not fit easily into boxes or wrap nicely.  I went online and found this incredible hack for making your own gift bags out of wrapping paper.  Maybe everyone already knows about this, but it kind of changed my gift-wrapping life.   Once you learn how to do it, it’s nearly as fast as wrapping a present the usual way.  One thing to note is that you fold the bottom up approximately equal to the width of whatever it is you’re putting inside.

** Also, no we do not have a child named “Timberjack.”  We are using “code names” for our kids this year so they don’t fight over who has what gifts.  This year’s theme is taken from the various classes of dragons in How to Train Your Dragon.  Do you do anything like that with your kids so they don’t know who each present is for?

We’re a homeschooling family in Los Alamos, New Mexico, hoping to give our boys a love for the great outdoors and provide them with skills they’ll enjoy for life. When it comes to camping, we are experts at getting off the beaten path, away from crowded campgrounds.  And adventuring to us can be as simple as checking out a local park or as ambitious as hiking a Colorado 14’er.
