Today we want to share with you a collection of photos of cute gifts, wrapped in a simple but unusual paper with love and fantasy.

Probably not everyone can imagine all possible use cases for packaging in such affordable material as old newspapers and magazines, notes, contour maps and atlases, old books, sheets of paper or calendar with poems.

But you can create unique wrapped gifts in vintage, romantic, poetic, musical or comic style.

Old newspapers, decorated with lace, ribbons, beads, flowers look luxurious and mysterious.

You can make a particular manifestation of your care by wrapping a gift in a material corresponding to the interests of the recipient: a newspaper, a book or a magazine. Some title, a crossword or a curious picture will definitely catch an eye and a newspaper in a foreign language can also help to recall some familiar words.

You do not have to wrap the entire gift in a newspaper, you can use other materials for wrapping, for example, packing craft made of interesting details of a newspaper or a magazine, cuts, appliques, or even a newspaper ruffle. By the way, you can make a handy bag of separate sheets by simply stitching the edges on a sewing machine.

Another affordable, grateful and lyrical material is notes. It may be the sheets of old music albums and a printout of a song or a music piece, lovingly tied with a ribbon or a simple rope.

Your child for sure has some old contour maps and atlases left that will delight lovers of travel in a form of a thematic wrap of a gift.

In our age of electronic newspapers, electronic books, textbooks and diaries, emails and photo albums the texture and a natural smell of the printed paper will give warmth and nostalgic memories about the years which are quickly and permanently running away from us. Don't throw away old printed materials, it is possible to extend their life in another, unexpected gift form.

Photos are taken from the Internet.

I wish you new ideas and inspiration! Svetiki
