Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a reusable wrapping material. Although generally discussed herein as a gift wrapping material, the disclosed reusable wrapping material may be used to cover, at least in part, any inanimate article. In some embodiments, the reusable wrapping material is self-adhesive, removing any need for tape, bows, ribbons, or other separate elements to secure the wrapping material in a configuration enclosing a gift. Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide a stretchy, removable adhesive wrapping material. In further embodiments, the stretchy, removable adhesive material is removably self-adhesive. In even further embodiments, the removable adhesive material only substantially adheres to itself.
