New Uses for Old Things: Christmas Style

Cupcake Liners as Snowflakes: Flatten and fold paper of foil liners and snip shapes and lines to create decorative snowflakes that can be used to line your entryways.

Confetti as Packing Material: Need to send that bottle of expensive wine to your sister in Atlanta for Christmas? No problem, pack it in a box with mounds of confetti. It can be bank statements that needed to be shredded or festive construction paper. Either way it saves money and time…and is good for the environment!

Cake Stand as Soap Dish: Stack beautifully wrapped soaps on top and add scent and elegance to your bathroom.

Paper Clips as Wrapping Paper Holder: Use paper clips to keep your wrapping paper from unraveling.

Pastry Tip as Place Card Holder: Use place cards at your Christmas dinner? Use the tips of the frosting or dough bags you just used for dessert. They’re easy to use and cool to look at.

Key Chain as Gift Tag: Use a key chain as a gift tag with large rubber bands instead of bows. Bright colors give it that extra ‘oomph’.
