This year's Christmas gifts were wrapped using newspapers to (1) save money and more importantly (2) save paper! We have stacks of old newspapers here at home, and my mom felt that it would be cute and at the same time more practical if we used them to wrap our gifts. I know, my initial concern too was how dirty they were. But before wrapping, my sister and I wiped both sides of each newspaper with a towel in order to somewhat reduce the dirt on it, and it kind of helped. For one gift, 2 spreads were used to make the wrapper a bit thicker, so imagine how many newspapers we had to wipe! Fortunately this is something I enjoy doing, so it wasn't really such a burden. Aside from that, it was fun reading some articles and looking through pictures while wrapping!

No tape was used, only raphia and and rope string to hold everything together. Try it!
