Recycled ideas for gift wrapping

I always paid a lot of attention to gift wrapping before kids. Gifts were lovingly wrapped in a theme, fabric, brown paper, handmade paper, matching gift tags, fancy ribbons. I loved it and put in as much effort with the wrapping as I did with choosing the gift. These days, with the kids in particular, it's usually a roll of $2 paper from the dollar store. I'm getting back to taking more time with the gift wrapping with some of these wonderful ideas to use papers and products you already have lying around the house.
