Giving
and receiving gifts is more than the exchange of goods. It is a feeling. Last
week was your birthday, your friends gave the best presents and made your day.
You were very excited and enjoying those warm & cozy gifts. After a few
days when you were cleaning the stuff and arranging those gift boxes, you come
to know that along with the gifts we get, there are many other ‘accessories.’ Fragile
items are covered with shredded paper fillers.
What
to do with them?
They
cover more spaces than the gifts themselves. But it is time to go creative. You
can recycle them and make something best from the waste. You just need to do
small preparations. After that, you would be able to use the extra shredded
paper for gift boxes in your way.
1.
Packing Material
If
you are planning to move, then instead of spending a fortune to get the
packaging material from stores, reuse them. If you are short of them, then
shred last year’s magazine or old newspaper. Ta-Da, you are all set to recycle
the materials and contribute to the country's development. (Not bad, no?)
2.
Do You Have Pets?
Then
you can use shredded papers to the utmost extent. Pet pooping at the wrong
places can make you go crazy all then and now. But with the use of shredded
paper fillers, save a lot of time as well as energy. You can use them to
get rid of the pet litter. Also, you can toss them into the litterbox and you
can make your cleaning processes easy and save your manicure to last longer. (I
love that smile)
3.
Show your Art
You
might have played with paper mache in your school days. Your art teacher might
have taught you to make those clean and beautiful paper mache. Paper bouquets
are always an option. Make them and engage kids in your house. Along with being
a summer activity, you can enhance the beauty of your kid’s room.
4.
Burn It
Not
in anger, but to start the fire. You can collaborate on the fire-starting
process by using toilet paper rolls and egg cartons. Stuff toilet papers with shredded
paper for gift boxes and warm off yourself in winters. You can do the same
with the woodstove. Toll the paper with other pieces of wood and get better
flames.
5.
Grow Green Beans
Green
bean seeds should be given proper moisture to grow. You don’t need to fret out.
Shredded papers for gift boxes will help you do your bit. All you need
to do is cover the planted seeds with the paper. This would help the planted
seeds to retain the moisture and grow the best crop. Not only these seeds, but
you can also do the same with other seeds to protect them.
Conclusion
These
are some quick and easy ways in which you can add a pinch of your creativity
and time to utilize the cartons of shredded paper fillers. We would love
to share your experience and other ways you have implemented for the same.
Get
creative!
