    Take any piece of very pretty print or solid fabric, use a pair of craft scissors (that have a design when you cut with them) and cut out a piece of material as you would wrapping paper. Pull all the edges up around the gift and tie a piece of ribbon around the eges and tie a bow.

    You can also take a piece of plain brown or white paper and decorate it with ink stampers, paints or markers, let it dry and then cut as for wrapping paper.

    If you have the time but no extra money here is an idea that I have used: Cut a lot of ribbon into one length. At a table secure half of the ribbons at the ends with scotch tape so that they are all laying side by side. Then, coming in from the side of the lengths of ribbon, weave the others through the secured lengths of ribbon, making a basket weave design, just like making a lattice top pie crust, so that you have a woven piece of mat made of ribbon. Glue or tape a length of ribbon to all the sides to secure them and VOILA! You have home-made "wrapping paper". (This sounds harder than it is)
