Using Toy Catalog Pages as Gift Wrap - wrapped gift When it comes to wrapping presents/gifts, I try to recycle what I have before purchasing anything unnecessary. Don't throw away all those holiday toy catalogs you receive in the mail. I was able to recycle and wrap a couple of gifts with the Target catalog!

Yield: Over 20 sheets of paper

Supplies:

glue stick
tape
toy catalog
scissors
ribbon

Steps:

Use a staple remover or scissors and remove the staple from the catalog. After removing the staples, you will have over 20 sheets!
