No, I’m not talking about food I’m talking about your gift wrap. You could always save it for next year, but what’s the fun in that. Here are some quick and oh so simple green projects for your leftover gift wrap.

1. Spruce up some of your office supplies. Wrap your recycled tin cans to store your pencils and pens or anything for that matter. I love this one cause they also make to cutest votive holders for your next party.

2. Protect your most precious items or those you plan to ship. I’m always on the lookout for create eco friendly packaging ideas, and this one is fits the bill. shred that paper and use as packaging.

It adds just the perfect graphic touch. Speaking of which…have you checked out my new shop? It’s vintage fabric prints galore!

Of course there is always the option of ironing (could be disastrous if it’s not on a low setting) your paper and rolling it back on the tube for next year.
