Creative DIY Packaging Ideas, Perfect for the Holidays!

I can't believe how close the holidays are! We are only 6 weeks away from Christmas people. Woo woo. I hope my joy for this season never dies. I am a gift giver. I love finding the perfect gift for someone special. I love sharing treats and other trinkets people may not even want to receive but I want to give! As you can imagine, gift giving can be tricky when you are on a tight budget. It drives me nuts to "waste" money on a bag and a card when that money could go a cuter gift. However, I don't want to give away something ugly either, which led me to my search for cute, cheap packaging ideas. 

I was totally inspired by what I found, so of course I had to share my finds with you guys! I hope you find one you love. Remember, if you like an idea, click to the original source and pin it :).
