We used some of the brown craft paper roll to start new beds. Use a few layers of paper over the grass, then top with soil, peat moss, mulch and give it time to settle and compost. Think it is called lasagna gardening. Newspaper seems to be harder to work with but also works well. No slicks tho.

If it has a print to it, its even better. RE: What to Do with a Huge Roll of Paper Post by Julie UK (53) | (03/10/2005) Contact What a treat!

That would be a dream come true for me:) Origami is the first thing that comes to mind. Ive done Origami for years and the fun part is hunting down all kinds of paper. Origami paper is rather costly but you can be especially creative with your huge roll of paper. Good Luck:) RE: What to Do with a Huge Roll of Paper Post By michelle (Guest Post) (01/23/2005) Kristi, If you are not really into crafts (or ect.) you could always donate the paper to your local school or daycare. Teachers really do appreciate the donations.... RE: What to Do with a Huge Roll of Paper Post By Jackie (Guest Post) (01/23/2005) Depending on what kind of paper and what size roll...and if u have kids...BUT I have seen in a decorating book...that if one has kids..and the paper is the kind on which one can draw..hang it on a roll on a wall in the kids play room or bedroom and they can pull it down and draw on it,,instead of the walls,,,and then when they r finished with it..they can just tear that piece off and start again when ever they what... RE: What to Do with a Huge Roll of Paper Post by Luvyabye (299) | (01/22/2005) Profile | Contact Wow, Kristi!! I can think of a couple of things I would do for sure. I would rubber stamp my own wrapping paper for gifts. If you have kids, I'd tape some to a wall or door for some "original" art work to be done. What a blast that would be for them. You could make your own evelopes for mailing. Hmmm can you tell I'm a crafter??? LOL RE: What to Do with a Huge Roll of Paper Post By kathy (Guest Post) (01/22/2005) oh boy! if i was near you i'd take it right off your hands.. but? since i'm not, i'll tell you what i'd do with it. make your own wrapping paper. i go to the small local paper here and pick up the roll ends for just this purpose. if it's a yucky color, like newsprint, lightly spray it with spray paint. not solid, but just a quick hint of color, then paint, glue glitter, whatever you like. i haven't bought wrapping paper in years and some people have actually kept it and framed parts. (i do get carried away with it sometimes) also, use it to lay down as a protector if you are doing crafts, painting, decorating cookies, making patterns or even washing windows over a light colored carpet. so many uses, i couldn't list them all here..
