Recycle your old wrapping paper this Christmas

Each year many people are left with a large amount of unused wrapping paper, tissue paper and ribbon.

Instead of just throwing it all away here are some creative suggestions:

• Separate layers of clothing in a suitcase with tissue paper to prevent wrinkles.
• Crumple the tissues paper into little balls to prettily cushion homemade treats in a gift tin.
• Wrap old tissues paper and wrapping paper around votive candle holders for instant mood lighting.
• Use leftover ribbon to tie up clusters of silver-ware at the table or to hang ornaments around the house.

Do you have any creative suggestions?
