Creative Wrapping Ideas

Figure A--A bird lover would enjoy unwrapping this nest of presents. Build a pyramid-shaped frame from tree branches tied together with thick twine, cover it with tent screening and fill with items like binoculars and a guidebook.

Figure B--An old violin case makes an interesting alternative to a card for giving some concert tickets to a music fan. Throw in a bottle of champagne and decorate sheets of paper with music notes to pad the interior.

Figure C--For the movie buff on the gift list, an old film container will be almost as treasured as the gift inside. Find an old container at a film processing lab and fill it with a pair of movie tickets, a video cassette or DVD, or a gift certificate from a video store.
