- When wrapping presents, have a shoebox or two nearby--if you have a small piece left over that will be hard to save, wrap the top or bottom of a shoebox.
- When gifts are open, save the larger pieces of wrapping paper to use to wrap boxes.
- Save the tubes from the wrapping papers and cut into "paper holders."
- Wrap with leftover or scrap paper.
- Use wrapped shoeboxes as "gift boxes."
- Ask your family and friends to wrap your gifts in shoe boxes--reminding them to wrap the lid and bottom separately.
- Bows and ribbon can be used and carefully removed.
- If you are doing the wrapping you can put a bit of scotch tape under the bow so when it is removed it does not tear the paper.
We are always looking for ways to up-cycle for our Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing to help us be able to send more.
