Lego of Wrapping Ideas in a Home Economics Class

A Southern Illinois University home economics class creates inventive gift wraps. Students wrap a cow bow boots box with suede cloth and a boot sketched on top. They decorate records with colored paper and plastic notes, perfume bottles with gold felt, and an aluminum foil box with toy train elements. A teen gown uses floral flannel and lace. Other wraps include a sewing kit in a coffee can, a gold sprayed tie, a Christmas angel box, and a kitchen utensil wrapped brown bag filled with sugar-coated rolls.
