Newspapers are common in our home as we read it daily with a hot cup of morning tea. But at the end of the month we have piles of newspapers in the store. But do you know that rather than selling it to the scrapper you can utilize it in different ways for decoration and making small things that can be used in our day to day life. Team AAW tells you some interesting things that you can enjoy making and avoid the wastage of papers too.

Wrap some gifts
It’s fun to wrap the gifts beautifully out of paper. In childhood many would have done so and must have enjoyed it to its fullest. Decorate it once it is wrapped and the wrapped present would give a beautiful appealing look.
