TeamSugar member AmberHoney sent me this photo of some decorating paper she made for a business associate of her husband's. She says, "I have only ever used newspaper or grocery-store bags (the inside of course) to wrap my gifts. I started because wrapping papers are just too expensive to rip open and litter the earth. I usually stamp, spray paint, or stencil paper bags. It's fun and you can personalize each."
I also sometimes make my own wrapping paper, though I have to say that AmberHoney's is some of the most sophisticated, design-savvy homemade paper I've seen in awhile.
What about you? Do you make homemade wrapping paper?
No, but it's a good idea if you have the time. I'm getting so fed up with the excess packaging and plastic bag world we live in that I'm wondering why I didn't think of this?
It's also a good activity for kids - getting them to design some custom wrapping paper is cute and thoughtful, plus it keeps them busy!
Nice work btw!
