Uses for Holiday Scrap Paper

I hate wasting paper.  Between wrapping gifts and art projects, we have plenty of scrap paper around the house.  Here are some ways that I plan on using our construction paper, wrapping paper and tissue paper scraps:

What to do with all of this colorful paper?

• Shred some scraps to use as holiday packing.  (Why use perfectly good tissue paper when you don't have to!)
• Shred some bright colored scraps to decorate one of my holiday tables like confetti.
• Have my daughter make mini mosaics to use as holiday thank you cards.
• Supply my daughter with some to make a holiday picture. (She loves holiday-themed are projects!)
• Use some of the excess wrapping paper as backgrounds in picture frames.
• Make a mod podge gift box. (See our idea.) 
• Use tissue paper for future gifts.
• Use the over-used tissue paper to wrap ornaments and other items for storage.

So far, I have already been able to use some for holiday packing.  See below:
