5 Ways to Use Left Over Christmas Gift Wrappng Paper

Instead of Storing Left Over Christmas Gift Wrap All Year, Why Not Use It!

It is typically not a common effort to calculate exactly how much wrapping paper you will need to wrap Christmas gifts. Usually we just buy the beautiful paper for adults or the cute, Christmas-y paper for the kids. A certain color to match our house decorations or a cartoon character in its Christmas glory. Sometimes cost is a factor, other times it is not. We just buy want we think we will need. But most often, there isn't a year goes by that we don't have some
wrapping paper left over. We can store it, but next year, we will probably buy new and start wrapping before we unpack last years leftovers! So, instead of storing it all year, why not use it! It is only paper...what can you do with
paper?

1. The extra added feature is that Christmas gift wrapping paper is bright and colorful - both of which features are used to brighten up a dark or small area. Take the lightest and brightest color paper you have, and use it for shelf paper in your pantry and dish cabinets. Not only does it brighten up the pantry but look how pretty! Every time you open the pantry, there is Santa looking up at you! How can you not smile! Or some candy canes are scattered around looking festive and cheerful! If you got a cartoon character print Christmas wrapping paper, there's you favorite cartoon character, smiling at you every time you open the pantry! Kids might be more anxious to help out in the kitchen if they get to see Rudolph or their favorite cartoon character every day! Granted, it is just a frame of mind, but hey, your shelves are covered and it didn't cost you a cent!
