Cheap But Elegant Gift Wrap the old fashioned way

Baking cookies is a rewarding thing to do this time of the year. The house is filled with wonderful aromas that draws family members into the kitchen.  I usually try to bake when I am the only one home, because if I am not watching  someone walks by,  snatches up the bounty and out the door they go.  Many of us are cutting back on the amount we will be spending this year.  In the next few pages you will see how plain butter cookies can be kicked up a few notches with some cheap wrapping paper, a tiny clothes pin, buttons, and Jute. Please follow me  . . .  . .  

Step 1 What you will need

This Instructable is about how to wrap plain homemade cookies.

Please note: This type of wrapping can be done for any light weight gift.

That's great; I'm happy for you. I'm also happy to have no snow here yet. :-) We were a little traumatized by the Halloween snow storm.
