Don’t chuck out any wrapping paper EVER! Not even if it’s crumpled beyond repair. You can always reuse it.  Either to add embellishments to parcels or run it through a shredder and use it for lining boxes or bags.  Coming very soon – a way to make very stylish paper bows….and if you missed it catch up with our Peacock inspired wrap or just buy this groovy paper....!
