Non-scrapbook uses for scrapbook paper?

[mjantz]

I've recently been given some nice scrapbook paper & other misc supplies like letters & a few hole punches. I don't scrapbook so I'd like to find a fun way to use this lovely stuff. I have large & smaller (like postcard size) decorative paper & the other stuff.

Thanks!

You can make origami boxes and other origami type items. There are small one-a-day desktop calendars that have very good detailed directions for making origami designs. Of course there are lots of how-to books & online sites for designs & directions.

You can make your own greeting cards. Just measure envelopes, cut paper to size (doubling the length for when you fold the card) and embellish with stickers, rubber stamps, photos, cut-out pictures from magazines, etc.

Cover a cheap wooden photo frame. Cover small boxes, embellish, glue little painted wood balls on the bottom for feet - then use for keepsakes.

Or you could send it all to me!
Yea, like I need more stuff.

Hope you have fun with it!!

I sometimes wrap small gifts in 12x12 paper.

I really have no desire to. I think it looks great & all that but absolutely no desire.

Before I started scrapbooking I made collages with scrapbook papers. I covered large cereal boxes cut down to use as magazine holders. In the kitchen, I decorated small boxes with food photo scrapbook pages to hold seasoning packets and other loose items.

Frame it & use as art.

I covered the back of a cheap, plain clipboard with some and now it looks like a fancy, nice one. You could use the letters that way too.

Maybe cover cans to use as pencil holders, or cut the paper into note cards?

A friend of mine used scrapping paper to wallpaper her DD's doll house.

You could make cards, ornaments, alter notebook covers, etc or if you really don't have an interest in any of that, you could donate to a local girl scout troop.
