– I love using the inexpensive and shiny colorful wire garland to dress up gifts. They usually come in 5 foot of more rolls for a dollar and they are a great alternative to expensive spools of ribbon...they add festive shimmer and shine to any present!
posted: 8:38 pm on July 27th– A lot of stores sell tiny ornaments (like small mirrored balls or faux christmas light bulbs)for smaller trees. Turn these small ornaments into cute earrings by simply adding a ear wire or by dangling them from jewelry hoops. They also make fun, festive gifts for friends and family.
– For a great present on the cheap, personalize shiny ball ornaments with metallic paints or paint pens. Simply draw on a name or initial, add a pretty ribbon and you've got an instant gift! This is a great penny pinching idea if you have a lot of people to buy for! The giftee will also love the personal touch!
