if you’re in need of a last-minute gift
idea check this out grab an empty bag of
chips and search around the house for
something you think could work as a gift
clean the chip bag and turn it inside
out then carefully place your gift
inside and twist the bag at the top all
you need to do now is grab a ribbon tie
a bow and your instant gift is ready to
go now if you don’t have a ribbon handy
it’s no problem just cut the top inch
off the chip bag and tie that on instead
it should be just enough to get you by
in your time of need if you’ve got rolls
of wrapping paper that you want
preserved head to the kitchen and finish
up some leftovers so you can salvage the
aluminum foil now cut the foil into a
square that’s a couple inches longer
than a toilet paper tube next you’ll
need to make a cut down the side of the
toilet tube so you can wrap the foil
around the outside and fold the edges
inward to hold it in place push the foil
in at the ends and now you’ve got a
decorative clasp that will clamp down
around your tube and hold your wrapping
paper in place your decorative wrap is
preserved for another year
with Internet and email becoming so
common you may not have any envelopes to
send out Christmas letters rather than
going out and buying some just take your
letter and crease it in the center then
fold opposite corners into the center
line fold the two edges next then with a
slight turn the tips are folded in to
complete a rectangle when you tuck these
two corners into the flaps underneath
them your letter is just transformed
into its own envelope all you need to do
now is address it add a staff and your
letter is ready for posting to make a
fun and festive breakfast start by
pouring your pancake mix into a cleaned
out condiment bottle now dip some large
metal cookie cutters into a small tray
of cooking oil and set it on a pre
greased and preheated cooking pan now
just pour in some pancake batter and
give it a minute to cook when the batter
is firm go ahead and remove the cookie
cutter with a clean pair of pliers and
your pancake will hold its shape now
just finish them up in the usual way
then make a whole bunch more add some
butter and a drizzle of maple syrup and
you’ve got a festive and impressive
holiday breakfast
when you’re wrapping packages you know
the frustration that comes when you
can’t find the edge of the tape then
when you do find it it’s surprisingly
difficult to get it up the solution is a
simple bread clip there’s a good chance
you have one of these lying around and
all you need to do is just tuck it under
the edge of the tape this custom grab
tab will save your spot without damaging
the tape at all and makes a nice little
handle for pulling the tape up when you
need it if you don’t have a bread clip
try using a penny instead your Christmas
tree may be fake but you can still enjoy
the scent of a fresh cut tree just take
the air filter from your furnace and
pick up a bottle of pine essential oil
and remember the little goes a long way
now add 10 to 20 drops on the backside
of the filter then place it back into
position open up your air register then
sit back and enjoy the fresh pine aroma

when the cookies are baked and ready for
frosting it can be a pretty messy job
and no matter how hard you try they
still look like they are frosted by a
four year old you can win this challenge
by pouring your frosting into a few
different condiment containers screw the
caps on tight and now you’ve got a much
nicer cookie aye sir
this will give you so much decorating
precision that your imagination is the
only limitation there is no sugary mess
to clean up and if you press the cap
back on your frosting will stay good for
days when the season is over and it’s
time to take the Christmas lights down
you know that throwing them in a bin
just means you’ll have a major rat’s
nest to deal with next year try using a
simple extension cord holder instead you
can find these at hardware stores for
about a dollar and a half when your
lights are wrapped plug the two ends of
the cord together and now you’re
guaranteed to be tangle free by the way
if you can’t find one of these cord
wrappers try making one out of a piece
of cardboard it’ll work just as well and
nothing beats the price of free
when you’re entertaining friends with a
nice warm chocolatey drink go one step
further by grabbing a potato peeler and
their favorite chocolate bar carefully
shave down one side of the candy bar and
you’ll see it creates a decorative
chocolate garnishing you can use these
tasty shavings to deliciously garnish
their drink or decorate anything else
you can think of your friends will be
super impressed and wondering why they
never thought of this rather than
letting all that wrapping paper go to
waste
try removing little decorations like
ribbons and bows then use something like
glue or spray adhesive to attach the
wrapping paper back to the box your
present came in now cut a rectangle
about the size of a postcard and
reattach the bows and ribbons just like
that
you’ve got an impressive thank you card
to return your appreciation your family
and friends will be blown away and hey
it’s better for the environment anyway
well there are a few ideas that will
hopefully make your Christmas a little
merrier if you like these projects
perhaps you’ll like some of my others
check them out at the king of random
calm
