You can use wrapping paper if not so wrinkled in scrapbooking for Christmas or birthday pages, especially those on big gift boxes that hold sweaters or coats. You can get a good12 X 12 piece or use them in strips of different sizes.
This sounds like a great idea and I’m sure scrapbookers and collage makers will enjoy trying this. It’s something youngsters would find fun, too.
With so many different types of wrapping paper nowadays – flowers, animals, happy faces, geometric designs, movie characters, stripes - you have a multitude of activities you and your children can explore. These can encompass paper plate creations, collages, scrapbooking, decoupage, altered books, and journals.
