One Hundred Dollar a Month, reader, Sandra, recently sent me in a quick tip on reusing wrapping paper and I thought I’d share.  

I personally have never thought to give a new, un-crumpled appearance, but with her tip being so simple and quick, I definitely will in the future.

She writes,

“When I was just out of college and had no money, I reused wrapping paper by first ironing it with a dry iron.  That sharpened it up so it looked new.  Just keep the iron moving, and don’t let it scorch.  Don’t try it with the foil or Mylar wrapping paper, though!”

Great tip, thanks Sandra!  

Have any of YOU done this before? Does anyone in your family make it a habit to try and save the wrapping paper their gifts come in? {The Girl and I do, but the boys usually tear their gifts open.
