Wrapping X-Mas gifts the right way

 A dead body & cats under the christmas tree!

For the dead body:
My Secret Santa receiver wanted make-up brushes for christmas and I thought it would be to boring handing over a bag of brushes. 
I divided up the brushes for the arms and legs area and the package from Amazon came with a make-up bag which is the torso.
 Wrap the brushes in tissue paper.
Wrap the make up bag with a plastic bag and then add more plastic grocery bags to round out the stomach. 
I added a candy cane to the make-up bag because you're never supposed to give someone a bag as a gift empty!
The head and neck are also made with plastic bags.
 Now wrap! 
 I made a kitchen knife blade out of cardboard from the piece that comes at the bottom of frozen pizza. 
The handle is a plastic bag. 
I wish I added a make-up brush or a candy cane to make it a little extra special but didn't think about it at that time. 
I stabbed the body with scissors, inserted the wrapped knife and taped it down with clear packaging tape.
Draw blood around the injury with a permanent red marker unless your body is an alien, then it would be green. (I am hilarious, I know)  


 Throw him under the tree!
The body is the wrapped gifts: Tarot card setmermaid tail blanket, dinosaur excavation cheap toy from Dollar tree, and a funny car decal.  
The head and tail are manipulated plastic bags. 
 I didn't add legs or arms since some cats sit on their limbs and you can't see them. 
So thats my inspiration for this gift: a limbless cat. 
 Wrap it! Add paper ears and whiskers.
