Do you have leftover wrapping paper and you don't have room to store it?

Don't toss it, reuse it!

If you have a shredder handy, fold the wrapping paper so that it fits into the shredder and shred away! 

You can use the decorative pieces as confetti or even use it for packing material.

If you don't have a shredder, have a little fun ripping it up or simply ball up the paper and you can still use it for packing material.

Another option is to line your cabinets and drawers with it. 

You'd normally pay up to ten dollars for a foot of liner so save some cash and recycle your wrapping paper this way.

And here's a fun idea, cut the paper into triangles, stick them to seam binding or ribbon and voila! You have your New Year's banner.

Did you know you can curl paper like you can curl ribbon? Well you can! Make your own bows from old paper.

I found lots of other ideas and tutorials online, so have fun while saving cash this holiday season!
