Looking for a way to use up your wrapping paper scraps? Or perhaps you are looking at a pile of used wrapping paper and wish you could find a way to recycle it other than adding it to a blue bin? Here's a fun way to bring in the new year and take care of that left over wrapping paper. Use a paper shredder to make your wrapping paper scraps into confetti. Then get to work creating your own confetti poppers using push pop containers!

I've shown you how to make these confetti poppers before for weddings and parties. You can find the tutorial for creating these confetti poppers here.

I used wrapping paper scraps and ribbon to decorate the push pop containers.

In the media - as seen at Roots and Today's Parent

holiday inspiration as seen in the media | Creative Bag

We love this time of year because we often get to see how our creative customers are using our products. Our products show up in social media, in print and in store windows as props for holiday decor.

We were especially excited when we spot our products in places that we were not expecting. Like the Roots holiday flyer and online lookbook. They featured a few of our exclusive holiday wrapping papers and many of our favourite ribbons as props in their holiday styled shoot. There are lots of great ideas for styling your holiday family photos - get dressed in your favourite Roots clothing and add a few wrapped gift boxes as photo props!

Sometimes we are asked for products to use for editorial styled photo shoots. We never really know how our products will be used so it's like Christmas morning when we see the finished editorial and the photos. We loved the holiday baking story featured in Today's Parent. They used some of our boxes and tin containers along with wrapping paper, ribbon and baker's twine to package homemade holiday cookies. You can find some of the cookie recipes here.

We really liked the way they DIY'd one of our set up boxes to create dividers to fit the sizes of the cookies packaged inside.
