Call it a wrap

Sentimental emergency wrap
Trying to think of something inventive and unusual as decoration for a gift to grandma or your favorite aunt? Something sweetly sentimental for your husband or wife?

These colorful wrappings are so easy, and they convey just the right personal touch. Preserve your children's first ABC's, first letters from camp, or first drawings. Give a meaningful letter to a loved one, a hand-written poem to a lover — all gently enveloping a chosen gift within.

To recreate these colorful bundles of joy, simply photocopy your works of art on color paper. Use the different sizes available in your copier.

Grab a few photographs from your desk, postcards from a colleague, or create a collage with office supplies, using paper clips, rulers, pencils, floppy disks. Place the objects on the copier plate and cover them with a blank sheet of paper, press the copy button, and voila - a whimsically creative wrapping.

Match colorful bows to your wrapping.
