Do you ever have those large, awkward, hard-to-wrap gifts? My Great Aunt Fran, a former Home Economics Teacher gave us a big high chair. She wrapped it in a plastic table cloth. I thought this was a great idea! This year my older kids are getting legos under the tree, and it’s a bit of an awkward size, so I thought the plastic table cloth would be perfect! Just add a nice bow, and you’re all set.

Up-cycled Table Cloth to Wrapping “Paper”
My bow is a little off….
The great thing about using tablecloths is that they can be used year after year!
Here is another one….I like to wrap them like a big piece of hard candy!

This is a nice idea. We’ve used plastic tablecloths from a birthday party over and over for our painting projects.
What a thoughtful use for a tablecloth! Thanks for linking up at Small Footprint Fridays!
good idea! thanks for the tip!
Great solution for a common problem. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!~
I’ve done that! Whenever I attend a holiday party with one of those flimsy “disposable” tablecloths, I try to hang around and help clean up so I can make sure that tablecloth is getting reused–by me, if nobody else takes it. Most food spills come off them easily with a damp cloth.
Hey ‘Becca, I was at a party this summer and someone was throwing away disposable tablecloths, and I thought, ‘I should ask for them’, and I didn’t. I will next time, since now I can’t forget that instance. I used one again this year and wrapped a gift like a big piece of hard candy. I think it looks so cute! Thanks for sharing!
I bought some gift tags from a craft show that were made from cards…they were so cute. I will have to show them to you.
I am interested in seeing them!
This is genius! I bought my nephews an awkward to wrap present and I was wondering how I would wrap it! Now I know! Thank you!!!
Awesome!
