How to make fancy customizeable recycled wrapping paper

Last year I, being a poor college art student; decided to make recycled wrapping paper out of various things I had lying around. To my surprise I found it could be easy, reasonably cheap, and way cooler. This instructable will show you just how awesome recycled wrapping paper can be.

Step 1 Supplies

You will need

Brown paper or Brown paper bags (I have a roll of brown paper but, I know that you can actually opt at most grocery stores for them to bag your groceries in paper bags.)
Tissue paper (This can usually be found in packages at the dollar store for pretty cheap)
Scissors
Glue (Any glue or paste will work)
Water
A paint brush or craft sponge
Small container (to keep your water/paste in)
Markers/crayons/pens/twine (for added decorative purposes)

Optional:
Cool tunes to craft to
I also like to use old sheet music or funny papers from the newspaper. Any small scraps of things should work.
Spray fixative (and possibly an open space)

This looks good, but it would be even easier to picture it if you could add a photo or two of gifts wrapped in finished paper like this. Thanks!

I'll get those pics as soon as my wrapping is done drying I did sheets and sheets of it last night and added more this morning so it's still a bit wet. Thanks for your suggestions though!
