Welcome to Repurposed Ideas Weekly Blog hop where we share ideas about what we’ve repurposed this week.
Today I decided to throw out some pinteresting ideas about Recycling Christmas. What to do with all that leftover wrapping paper, gift boxes, holiday cards, etc… (leftover cookies you say? Eat those! Quickly!)
Here are some ideas I found on pinterest.
Got Boxes? Big Boxes?

How about greeting cards? Here are some really creative ideas.
When all else fails or when your little ones are finished playing with the box, please remember to RECYCLE!

Wow! Those are better than the gifts I gave to my grandkids.
Oh….for SURE we need a sockmonkey bed!
AND a rocket maybe!
What good fun!
Wow!!! so many wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing your sweet blog at the hop xo
These ideas are just adorable! Our cat has actually recycled one of the boxes which isn’t huge, but she is a small cat. It is currently residing (as is…..shame on me) in our family room with the opening toward the fireplace, and is her favorite place to curl up for those long, winter, cat-naps!
I also save our Christmas cards into a little book by punching holes in the fold side, using book rings to hold them together, and tie it with a pretty ribbon and attach a tag with the year written on it. I started this last year and just finished this years. They become part of my Christmas decor and are really fun to look through, especially when there are pictures included.
oh, what a nice idea for Christmas cards. I’ve been pulling in decorations today and I will do this with my cards. Many include photos of friends and children. They will be fun to look back on next year. Thanks for the great idea!
So many great ideas! I use previous Christmas cards as gift tags after strategically trimming them with decorative scissors. Thanks for sharing!
