Wrapping Paper

Tonight, my husband and I made a trip to Menards and while we were there, we came across some brown builder's paper.

I had been debating about how to wrap our Christmas gifts and decided when I saw this paper that I would wrap everything in the brown paper and use colorful ribbons.  I may even have my daughter draw or stamp designs on it.  It's a much cheaper option than traditional paper.  For approximately $11, I got a roll of paper 35" wide by 140' long.  That's a lot of paper!  I think it will look great with lots of handmade embellishments or just a simple ribbon.

My husband is skeptical as to how the gifts will look under the tree but I think he will be pleasantly surprised!
