Recycled gift wrapping

Every Christmas lots of good paper goes to waste on present wrappings.
Most of this paper can't be reused because is ripped, bend or has tape in it.
This instructable shows a fun way to create a new gift wrap, recycling any kind of paper (or opaque bendable material). Enjoy!

Step 1 Tools and materials

You will need a ruller, scissors, a precision cutter, a stick of glue, and a surface to cut.
You can use any kind of paper or bendable material such as fabrics, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, or flyers. The limit is your imagination. Pay attention to the size of the gift your are wrapping and the theme you are going for.

A very interesting technique I'm  looking forward to experimenting with.  It will be great to have several sheets on hand for the next gift I have to wrap. 

Good luck in the contest!

Great idea for using up those tiny, but lovely, bits of paper that you just can't stand to throw out. Thanks!
