Running out of wrapping paper and don't want to brave the throngs of shoppers downtown? Use up your last decorative bag at midnight and there's still a stack of presents waiting to be wrapped? Don't panic - the plain white paper sitting in your computer's printer will make a perfectly suitable wrapping paper at a moment's notice. Just take two pieces of paper and tape them together, overlapping them just 1/4 to 1/2 an inch, wrap the gift with the tape on the inside of the package, and align the ribbon so it camouflages the visible overlap. If you want to make the package a little more festive, just use a bit of whatever confetti or glitter you have sitting around, gluing them on the top of the package. Your gifts will be just as pretty as they would have with regular wrapping paper, and if anyone notices the difference, they'll probably just complement you on your ingenuity.
