I should invest in brown wrapping paper and use it all year round with fun ribbons. I know some gift receivers who would reuse that ribbon in crafting. :D This year I just bought 4 big rolls of wrapping paper from the dollar store, won't feel so bad that it's tossed (recycled) when it was so cheap. Your idea is much cuter though! Looks great! I should invest in brown wrapping paper and use it all year round with fun ribbons.

I got some red and green finger paint and put it in pie tins. I laid the brown paper out on some easily washable floor. I had the girls take off their shoes and then I helped them "walk" across the paper with red and green paint on their feet. Towels nearby for easy clean-up. It was really fast, really classy looking, and really sweet to see those tiny feet. I kept one footprint from each girl in my keepsake box. My favorite year was when my girls were small.

If you have any child that loves to draw, you could have your own designer paper! My daughter is very creative and comes up with the most amazing ideas. For smaller gifts, typing paper works well, for larger gifts there is either the inside of grocery bags or you can tape the smaller sections paper together. I practically do not wrap any gifts unless I want to, because my imaginative daughter delights in this activity. Hi,
