If you still have the wrapping paper from your Holiday gifts, don't throw it away! Personal finance weblog The Simple Dollar offers several tips on useful things to with used giftwrap, cardboard boxes, and food leftovers.

The rest of the tips include making wrapping paper into origami and paper mache, using cardboard for photo backing, and making stocks and stews from leftovers. See all 20 tips at the source link below. Photo by jdog90
