Store Wrapping Paper Inside the Roll

Flag

After Christmas, if you take your leftover Christmas wrap off the roll, roll it back up, and place it inside the cardboard holder it will keep better for next year.

To save leftover wrapping paper for next year you can use a cardboard tube that is made for a calendar or blueprints to store the paper in. This will save money, and after Christmas you can buy some on sale to save.

What an awesome tip! I am forever getting aggrevated because my wrapping paper unravels. I don't know why this never occured to me! Thanks so much for sharing.

Also, maybe you coud tape or rubber band a piece of paper to one end so that it doesn't fall out. Just an idea.

This is a fantastic idea! I have an abundance (x10!) of wrapping paper that I have collected over the years. I've finally curbed my need to buy more - I'm down to buying only a couple new rolls per Christmas season.

I grew up in a family that values wrapping paper. It was and is revered. It is part of the gift you are giving. It's a reflection on the one who is giving the gift. Presentation, Presentation, Presentation! It is not just something to rip off in a fit of excitement. I was taught that from a very young age. You carefully removed the tape and folded it so it could be used again. We use it to make matching gift tags. It's for crafting - big time.
We've laminated wrapping paper with clear Contact paper to make placemats. Tip: Use prints on both sides and get two for one.
We have used wrapping paper to...
Make German Stars.
Make ornaments.
Make Mobiles.
Card making.
Covering boxes, i.e., shoe boxes, to store special like items together.
And so on.
Keep in mind that wrapping paper is NOT created equal. Forget about the cheap papers that rip and tear just for looking at it. I buy quality paper.
