For the gift that keeps on giving, turn to wrapping paper! Aside from hiding the big reveal, wrapping paper can be used creatively beyond its intended purpose. If you have a few extra rolls around the house, considering turning it into art or using it as a table runner at your next party with these five tips and tricks!
- As art: If you're looking to revamp your space [1] with affordable art, consider wrapping paper. Use what you have or head to the paper store for sheets in beautiful colors and textures. Simply cut to size, frame, and hang!
- To line drawers: No need to buy the fancy stuff, a durable paper makes a great liner in your kitchen, office, and bathroom drawers. Because liner can be expensive, this is perfect for temporary situations like rentals.
- In place of a table runner: If you're hosting a dinner party [2], use wrapping paper as a tablecloth or runner. Not only will the cleanup be hassle-free, but you can also easily find a paper to match your party's color and theme.
- In a collage: Put those wrapping paper scraps to good use by making greeting cards with collages. This ensures nothing goes to waste and will save you money [3] on pricey stationery. It's also a completely free and creative way to personalize your gift!
- As a photo backdrop: No need for a professional photo booth at your next party, just use wrapping paper. Keep it simple with white paper or choose a pattern to go with your theme. Tape it to a blank wall, set up a tripod, and start making memories. Wrapping paper also makes a great background for bulletin boards, too!
