Recycled Art Wrapping Paper

August 18, 2013 by Meredith @ Homegrown Friends

If your house is anything like mine your have piles and piles of your children’s artwork with no wall space left to hang them. I wish I could keep it all, but that would require us to build an addition on our house! Hmmm, now there’s a thought… okay, no more daydreaming! Here is an incredibly easy solution to the abundance of artwork that does not require throwing it in the garbage. I love using my children’s paintings and drawings to make Recycled Art Wrapping Paper.
