Shredded paper for gift boxes etc...

Options
How expensive is it in the shops?

I bought loads of 99p gift boxes last year from Tesco for 6p each and I thought it would be nice to put in some shredded paper as a nest for the gifts.

I bought ten sheets of tissue in gold and silver for £1.25 on the local market and shredded it myself, the little bag with one sheet equivalent (or less) was 75p so I am very happy and my relatives get nicely wrapped presents.

    I thought about using old cheque books but I decided the gold stuff would look a bit better in the boxes ;)

    I must admit it was Panda's shredding thread that gave me the idea! cheers Panda:T
