Wrapping And Recycling On A Budget

This evening I have been writing cards and wrapping presents.

I have had a load of fun adding collages to the cards and making snowflakes from foil, as well as adding funny messages.

My girlfriend showed me something that she does every year and I thought it was a great idea.

We have been using old broadsheet newspapers to wrap the presents. This is a great environmentally friendly alternative and money saving idea in my eyes.

Also trying to find that perfect photo to wrap the gift adds to the fun.

    The newspaper gift-wrap is a great idea. I think it makes little difference since it is going to be ripped off by most people anyway.

    This sort of hands-on work for occasions such as this is always a refreshing change.
