Recycling Leftover Wrapping Paper

Assalamu Alaikum.

This week we are going to show you one of the ways in which you can reuse your old wrapping paper. We always try our best to save any undamaged wrappings, however, even if you tear the paper it can still be reused.

For this recycle project you will need:-

1 or 2 shoeboxes

scissors

glue

old wrapping paper

For the first shoebox we tried a messy look and decided to tear the paper so that the edges were all raggedy.

Since we found we had quite a bit of undamaged red wrapping paper, we lined the inside of the box with it.

Next, we glued the torn pieces of paper onto the outside to the shoebox. We purposefully chose different but complimentary patterns.

For the second shoebox we decided to cut the paper into squares and rectangles instead. The result was a neat and pretty collage. We didn't line the inside this time.

Alhamdulillah we were very pleased with the final results!

Now they have to go back in the bedroom were they belong holding some of Zainab and Sumayyah's favourite books. By the way, be sure to watch out for some book recommendations we will be doing soon insha'Allah :)

We hope you enjoyed the tutorial and that we have inspired you to create something similar. Until next week!

Love,
