With simple household materials and recycled items, kids can make their own gift wrap, boxes, and gift tags for the holidays.

Kids will wow friends and family with this button-stamped gift wrap. Affix button to a cork with double-sided tape. Place plain paper on a piece of felt or a folded piece of fabric (this cushions the paper so the mark will be even). Top with a pretty button tied on with baker's twine.

Leave it to the kids to turn household materials into cheery holiday gift wrap. Let them doodle on shopping bags, paper towels, old phone books, and calendars, and top with a festive bow.

With decorative paper, string, and stickers, kids can decorate matchboxes that hold small surprises for their friends at school.

Kids can make handmade envelopes from magazine pages or wrapping paper from last Christmas.

Unfold a regular envelope to use as a template. Choose patterned paper larger than the envelope (or stick mismatched pieces together with glue). Trace the envelope onto the paper, cut out along lines, fold (using the envelope as a guide), and secure with glue stick.

Give a new life to holiday cards as labels for presents. With a pencil, kids can draw (or stencil) the recipient's initial onto a card, and cut it out. Punch a hole in the letter, and tie to gift with yarn or ribbon.

Paper snowflakes aren't quite as delicate as the real things are, but they make perfect toppers for holiday gifts. After kids cut out shapes, help thread ribbons through gaps in the snowflakes and tie around presents. Or glue flakes to plain wrapping paper, then cover with translucent tissue.

Remind guests what to do with an "Open Me" gift tag that you can print, cut out, and affix on Christmas gifts.

Will family and friends receive something sparkly or fuzzy? Is it alive? Kids can share details about Christmas gifts by printing and applying a descriptive clip-art gift tag to presents.

Kids can add a wintry scene to Christmas gifts. Print our snowy gift tag onto adhesive-backed paper. Cut along dotted lines, and stick on presents.

For a more personal gift tag, kids can print this design onto adhesive-backed paper, cut along dotted lines, and add details to the blank faces.
