Paper gift decorations can be quite inexpensive to make, and very interesting. And paper is something we all have around the house.
Colorful decorations can be made from magazine or catalog pages.
Or use old maps, atlases, tissue paper, book or newspaper pages, even old paper bags.
Any of these papers can be spray painted or paint brushed for colorful finishes.
Cut, twist, tear, bunch and fold paper for a unique result.
When you make them yourself, you can make paper gift decorations any size you need to accommodate the size of your gift. And you can match any color of paper or gift box that you are using.
