THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

Get crafty this new year, and turn all that Christmas wrapping into something new!

If you’re anything like me, getting rid of gift wrapping feels like a waste. I’m the type of person who likes to slowing unwrap gifts - not only is it more satisfying, but I also don’t like wrecking the wrapping - in order preserve and potentially re-sure the paper. Most of the time I end up with draws full of the stuff. Sound familiar? Well here’s a super easy and fun way to repurpose your wrapping.

DIY PAPER PLANT POT

This is a great hands on craft to do with your little wanderers too! In the DIY video I used plain brown paper, but you can use anything - newsspaper, your kids artwork, old gift wrapping etc. Enjoy!

Please note that your plant will need a watering tray under the pot to avoid water damage to the paper pot.
