PAPER CRAFTs
Shredded PAPER CRAFT favorite. Though the shreds are thinner than what most people use for PAPER CRAFT supplies such as paint, lace, buttons, or other materials. Make them in a theme such as Easter baskets for the kids, Christmas goodie baskets, or Get Well Soon gift baskets. Use shredded paper as the base in each container before adding other items.

Try surrounding pillar candle centerpieces with paper shreds, using them as "snow" for Christmas village displays, or placing in the bottom of vases as filler to support silk flowers or other decorative items.

Cards
Cut and fold card stock into desired card size. Spray paint shredded paper and let dry. Apply a layer of glue or double-sided tape to front of card. Carefully apply shreds to card until all tacky areas are covered. Trim excess around the edges. Add a mat and sentiment to the front of card, or any other decorative element.

More ideas include adding a second layer of shredded paper in a different direction, using shreds only as a frame on the outer edges of the card, or weaving them into a pattern either on the front of the card or inside.

Collage
Shredded paper is excellent for collage crafts. Simply add strips to collage as desired. Don't be afraid to cut them, crumple them, color them, or even bunch them onto the canvas.

Make your own paper
Following paper making instructions easily available online or in printed craft books, use shredded paper for mulch. Interesting textures and colors can be created using recycled papers. Give "new" paper as gifts to fellow crafters, or make cards, tags, and other paper crafts out of it.

Using shredded paper in craft projects is a great way to recycle, and it's easy and fun.
