Wrapping paper galore

Has anyone else noticed how beautiful wrapping paper has become over the last few years? From department stores to specialty stores. Organic stores to online stores. Wrapping paper can be bought anywhere, any price and any design. I have found using wrapping paper can be an inexpensive and fun way to decorate around the house. Here are just a couple of ways that I have used wrapping paper.

In our home we have lovely built-in bookcases. Eventually I would like to finish them in a color that fits our personality. However, this will be time-consuming and a bit pricey, so I found some wrapping paper that I enjoyed and made it a temporary backdrop.

Taking pictures is a fun hobby for me and over the years we  have accumulated different styles and colors of picture albums. I love having these albums on display but they didn’t match the decor. I simple used plain black wrapping paper and made book covers.

I have also used wrapping paper as a “mat” for picture frames and pictures. Here I had an over sized frame and used this fun paper to finish off this fun wall hanging.

These are just a couple of ways to use wrapping paper. How have you used wrapping paper?
