Wine Tags
Use your scrapbook paper to make custom wine glass decorations for party guests. Cut thin strips of scrapbook paper and curl them using a pair of scissors. Decorate each strip individually using symbols, or write the name of each guest on a strip of paper so that guests don't lose their glasses.
Candy Bar Wrappers
Decorate candy bars or party favors with scrapbook paper. You can wrap up chocolates or small gifts and decorate them for each guest. Children can also bring wrapped candies to school to pass out to schoolmates for birthday or holiday celebrations.
Matching Cards and Envelopes
Make matching cards and envelopes to send letters, thank-you cards or party invitations. Send the cards to friends and family members as a creative and thoughtful way to say, "Hello!"
Gift Wrap
Use your scrapbook paper to wrap gifts, create gift tags and small greeting cards. Paint the outside of the wrapped package or tape photographs, magazine cutouts or thoughtful poems around the outside.
Background Mounts
Create background mounts for existing photographs or poems and place the mounted piece into a frame. Add flare to the mount by decorating it with colorful designs or other decorating supplies.
Necklaces
Make necklace beads out of your extra scrapbook paper. Cut thin strips of paper and lay down a line of glue on one side of the paper. Wrap the strips tightly around a sewing needle so that the glued side is facing outward. Leave the paper to dry and remove. Make as many paper beads as you like to create a necklace or bracelet.
