10 Ways To Reuse Christmas Wrapping Paper

| by Elizabeth Palmer | December 25, 2005
1. Cut out Christmas or snowflake shapes. Stick the shapes on card. Add a tie and hang it on the Christmas tree.

2. Fold wrapping paper lengthwise. Cut out the shape of a Christmas tree, where the edges are touching the folds. Unfold the paper to reveal a chain of Christmas trees.

3. Give children a piece of paper. Ask them to create a Christmas design using wrapping paper, glue and scissors. Laminate it and use it as a placemat.

4. Cut wrapping paper into strips. Make them into links and create a link chain.

5. Cut small pieces of card. Use wrapping paper to cover the back and create a frame on the front. Write a bible verse inside the frame. Attach a tie and hang it from the tree.

6. Use pieces of wrapping paper to make a nice bookmark. Keep it yourself or give it to someone.

7. Use pieces of wrapping paper to make a nice bow to place on top of a present.

8. Make a party hat for dolls or teddy bears.

9. Using used cards and wrapping paper, create some Christmas crackers.

10. Wrap small lollies or sweets. Attach a number (1 to 24) and use them as next year's advent calender.
