Miniature holiday gift packages in dollhouses

Christmas prezzies under the tree, valentine candy boxes, birthday and anniversary gifts - how do you make them?

Discussion groups, forums (or forum categories) and photo groups dedicated to packaging.

A Rainbows End - wrapping paper, bow maker, ribbon

Bonnie Lavish - bow making kit

Do you have a section for packaging in your shop? Add a direct link to that item here.

Gift Bags - from Jen's Printables

Wrapping Paper - free printies from Treefeathers

Do a search for boxes, and specific holidays for packages. e.g Valentines Day for heart-shaped candy boxes.
Cut a small area of a magazine page to construct boxes. The slick pages have a nice finish and are thin enough to fold and stiff enough to hold its shape.
Color the shiny side of aluminum foil with a permanent marker for foiled papers.
Use the flocked fabric off of jewelry boxes to add to a velvet touch.

Cut out heart shaped jewelry pendants out of newspaper advertisements. Enhance them with fine sand, glitter, embossing powder, and glue to give them depth and dimension. Some sizes are perfect for doilies under food or vases. Cut out the middle to make picture frames.
Fingernail stickers or decals can decorate boxes.
Make your own mini rubber stamps out of a pencil eraser. Draw a heart on the top of the eraser and cut away sections leaving the heart higher than the rest. (These could work for any season-think simple shapes like cookie cutters.) Leave the pencil as is or cut some of it off to make a shorter handle and write what shape is on the eraser tip. Stamp with paints or inks to embellish any plain item (paper, fabric, dishes etc.) to transform it into a Valentine accessory. They also come in handy to press shapes into other mediums like polymer clay.
