The celebrations and traditions associated with springtime make this time of year an ideal opportunity to get creative with shredded paper – and we have some amazing ideas to get you inspired.
Keen to learn more? Then here are five ways to make the most of shredded paper this season:
1. Create a spring wreath
One of the best uses for shredded paper is to create a beautiful spring wreath for your front door or wall, as part of your decorations for the season. Simply glue the paper onto a foam wreath form and add some ribbon, buttons, and other decorations for a unique look.
1. Make an Easter basket
Shredded paper is the perfect material for creating a gorgeous Easter basket. Begin by attaching the shredded paper onto a cardboard box or a shaped outline, before adding some ribbon, buttons, and other decorations. Fill the basket with Easter eggs, gifts, and other surprises to exchange and celebrate the wonders of Easter.
1. Decorate gift bags
Another great use for shredded paper is to add colour, decoration, and character to gift bags for any occasion. You can use the shredded paper to decorate the outside of the bag, and then fill the bag with the paper to protect a gift, and hide the surprise within.
1. Create a spring garland
Shredded paper can be used to create a beautiful spring garland for your home, and can be used with a range of other decorations and materials. Once you have glued the paper onto a string or ribbon, you can add cut-out leaves, other ribbons, beads, and other decorations to encapsulate the vibe of spring, and do your part to celebrate the joy of spring.
1. Decorate a spring card
Shredded paper can also be great for decorating a spring card for any occasion, and is an easy way to add some extra colour and texture to your design. You just have to glue the paper onto the card, and you can use different colours and shapes to create your personalised card.
