Make your own recycled wrapping paper.
Description:
Brown paper bags make wonderful wrapping paper. They are virtually no-cost, have a great, handcrafted look, and are environmentally friendly because they are recycled. Use yarn or raffia to tie up gifts wrapped in this paper and you'll have the most talked-about wrapping under the tree.
Step by Step:
- Cut grocery bags open to make big rectangles.
- Let the kids decorate them (on the plain side) to their heart's content. If gluing on items, such as buttons, pom-poms etc., wrap the present in the plain paper first, then decorate.
- Let (glue, ink, paint) dry, then start wrapping!
