Then, lay them flat and let them dry. Then, take a dry paintbrush, and touch up the wrinkles with a light brush of paint, and it makes a very pretty wrapping paper.

On top of saving resources, paper bags can look just as festive and show that personal touch. Hopefully, your recycled gift wrap inspires other people to do the same. Good for you!

I also save the fanciest handle bags, that I obtain through my indulgent shopping sprees, for gift-giving. People seem to think better of me for doing this and I feel better about myself. Wrapping paper is among my pet peeves as well.
