"The littler the better" is the philosophy of these presents -- and it's easy to make a bunch quickly. Kids can give them to friends and classmates, adding a small treat, such as a holiday note, candy, or trinket.
- Decorative paper
- Pinking shears or scissors
For a standard-size matchbox, cut a 33/4-by-2-inch band of decorative paper.
Glue band around box; you can attach more paper to box ends.
Embellish with string, stickers, or a thin strip of paper glued around box.
