A potpourri of tips for home and gifts

WEATHERPROOF YOUR MAILING LABELS. Smart and simple trick when mailing gifts. Protect addresses from ink-smearing snow or rain: cover them completely with “Scotch” brand Cellophane Tape to help assure safe arrivals.

GIFT TAGS. A great new idea! “Scotch” brand Gift Tapes you can write on—plus bright stickers. 10 on a roll. Just snip them off and press down for new labeling speed and ease.

IDENTIFY GIFT GIVERS. End “thank you” note mix-ups. Keep “Scotch” Cellophane Tape at hand during the bustle of opening gifts: use it to attach givers’ names to packages (or to gifts) as they’re opened.

STOCKING STUFFER. Drop several rolls of “Scotch” Cellophane Tape ... or leftover rolls of Gift Tape ... in the youngsters’ Christmas stockings. Just watch them put the tape to creative use during many play time hours.

DAZZLE WREATH. Front-door dress-up with Glitter Bows (or any “Sasheen” bow). Make “Magic Bows”. Then press loop ends together (a) and cut V-notches in as many loops as you like. Back cutouts with “Scotch” Cellophane Tape and sprinkle with glitter. Form a wire coat hanger into a circle and tape or tie on bows.
