RECYCLING

Creative ways to recycle stationery - here is just a few ideas as to what you can do if you save your old calendars, greeting cards and gift wrap.

• Use wrapping paper to use as backgrounds on cards or xmas scrapbook layouts.
• Frame the images on cards to produce new greeting cards.
• Frame old cards and calendars in inexpensive IKEA or HOME BIZ wood frames.
• Use old xmas cards by cutting them in half and use the picture side as a gift tag.
• Shred used wrapping paper to create colourful protective packaging.
• Use old greeting cards to create Christmas decorations (as pictured below).
