Sherlene Stevens : I've Learned There Are Many Uses For Unused Christmas Wrapping Paper

Now that another Christmas season has ended, I am taking down my tree.  I realize, now,  that I still have Christmas-themed wrapping paper that hasn't been used. Do you? I realize that perhaps such recycling usages are limitless. Here are five suggestions for unused Christmas-season wrapping paper that I have learned, over the years:

  1. Fill in those drafty spaces around the window sills, or door seals.
  2. Wrap cords, lights, or string around a wrapping paper-roll holder.
  3. Use as a liner in your cabinet or dresser drawers.
  4. Save and use to wrap dishes or glasses to protect them when storing or relocating.
  5. Stuff inside puffball homestyle curtains.
