Dut pictures and give them a three
imensional look by .attaching
them to the package with a tiny
piece of cotton or sponge.

for creative gift-givers. The next,
time you're shopping, browse
around for artificial flowers, fruit
clusters and jewels, in addition to
the traditional stars, seals, holly
and Santas.
