Adventures in Upcycling and Repurposing
By TwistieOne idea to make use of all that leftover gift wrap is to make a bracelet out of paper beads. This one was actually made from pages of Rolling Stone magazine, but I think gift wrap would work just as well and give a prettier result.
Find full instructions here at Craftster!
One a more… mechanical end of the scale, I found instructions for making a curiously strong ‘personal massager’ out of an empty Altoids tin and a battery operated toothbrush. Oh, and while the illustrations for this particular project are probably reasonably safe for work, the rest of the site really isn’t.

Great idea for the extra giftwrap… mine is in the recycle bin… but I am pulling it out and getting to work. I think I can make a few bracelets as gifts for next year! Great post.
