Funny Wrapping Papper

Ever needed to buy a gift for some-one, and by the time you buy the wrapping paper and bow you have no money left for the gift?  Lets face it Birthday paper is expensive!

What do you do that Sunday paper once you are done with it? Do you throw it away or let it stack up in the garage?  Introducing….. the funny wrapping paper!

It’s my youngest brothers birthday and after spending nearly an hour wandering around the store, I finally found him the ideal present.

Do ya think he will like it?

When ever we are done with The Paper, we put the newsy section in our pet supply area (great bedding) and the funny papers go in my gift-wrap drawer.

The final result! Pretty cool huh?

    I have done this before. No need to throw out a perfectly good old newspaper, right? I recently used all of mine packing up my glassware for moving.

      I’m finding out many people use the comics as wrapping paper which I think is so cool. Growing up we never got the paper but hubby likes it so now we do get it. I hate paper trash so this was one way I decided to get rid of it with out throwing it away!

      Hahaha I gave that gift to the 8yr old who tore up the paper getting it off.
      The 10yr old had a fit and put the pieces back together so he could read it 🙂

        That is hilarious! I can see my boys doing the exact same thing – one ripping, the other trying to put it back together.

    Great idea! We make our own cards, too. They are too expensive and I think it makes it even more special when it comes from the kid’s heart.

      I love making my own cards!
      And yes, from a kid it is so much more special if they are the one to create it!

    I also re use brown paper bags from the grocery store this way. What I like about the brown paper is that you can draw on it with crayons or add stickers or whatever to make it look prettier. This is probably dorkier yet, but my brother one time actually used some left over tin foil to wrap gifts. Hey it’s shiny and you don’t need tape to secure it ! haha.

      Want to know really dorky? We once stuffed a gift in a large balloon, blew it up, then presented it to the birthday boy!
      As far as paper grocery bags… they are awesome! You can decorate them with ribbons or scrap-booking papers.
