Wrap It Up: Put Your Budding Artist’s Work to Good Use

My daughter’s backpack is always filled to the brim with paintings, pictures, and doodles that I can’t bring myself to toss. Rather than tuck them away to collect dust, I’m putting them to good use this holiday season — let’s face it, we can only keep so many! We’re using her lil masterpieces — including completed coloring book pages — to wrap small gifts. Tucking the artwork around books, videos, and boxes, we’ll showcase her artistic talents for all to enjoy! We also added a bit of sparkle by wrapping bows around the goodies with a steady hand and a glitter glue pen. While this homade paper costs pennies, the pictures are priceless!

This is a cool site! Thank you for linking up with us! That is a great idea for using children’s art. I never know what to do with my kids art and I always feel too guilty to throw it away. Thanks for the tip and I hope to see you again next week at Homemaker Monday!
