Recycled Paper for Holiday Decorations

After wrapping presents over the weekend, there were pieces left of the wrapping paper that were too small to use. We decided to make a guarland with those instead of just putting it in the recycle bin. This particular wrapping paper is reversible, so it was perfect for this project!

The other easy project uses a catalogue from Joe Fresh (a clothing line from our grocery store).

I had picked up the winter catalogue for Celeste, she likes to see all the fashion pictures.

Once she was done, I told her we could use it to make a big 3D snowflake (like we did last year).

We took apart the pages and Celeste chose which ones to use for the snowflake.

You can find very easy-to-follow instructions here. 

Here is one of the snowflake branches:

And here is the final complete snowflake, we like to hang ours

from the light fixture above our school table:
