Today, what to do with leftover wrapping paper. I have a few ideas, please feel free to add your ideas in the comments.
- Shred it and use it as packaging material
- Wrap tree ornaments in crumpled wrinkly leftover wrapping paper
- Use as a mat in a picture frame
- Laminate to use as a placemat
- Add large squares to the kids craft supplies - great for practicing cutting and gluing, and as a colored paper for craft projects
- Reuse it for wrapping in the future by carefully folding and storing it
- Ball it up and toss it to the cat
- Use it as fire starter paper
- Practice paper folding arts with it
- Decoupage, either large pieces or cut out shapes
- Incorporate bits of it into holiday scrapbooking pages
- Trace sewing patterns onto it, it's sturdier than newsprint and usually plain on one side
- Create rolled and decoupaged paper beads for necklaces
- Give some to the kids to create and cut out shapes for Grandparent Christmas cards
- Cut or shred it into confetti
