I bought butcher paper roll as gift wrap, not paying any attention to the fact that the roll is 4' long. Imagine my surprise! That's my fault, though. The weight of this is awesome - perfect for wrapping. This would be great for covering tables or for kids' crafts, too. There's plenty of it, so it will last me forever! Great deal! I had my children make homemade wrapping paper for me to wrap their Christmas presents in. I saved a lot of money and the kids has fun with their art project. They loved seeing their works of art around the presents and were extra careful opening their present so they didn't ruin the paper.
I use brown butcher paper for wrapping paper, there are so many amazing ways you can decorate it. Looks great under our tree and what a great value! I use this stuff for when I steam live blue crab - put it down as a table cover, and when everyone's done you can just fold it all up and makes cleaning up all the bits of shell and what not quick and easy. It does lose some strength when it gets wet, so usually I wind up putting down two sheets instead of one. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. But hey, it's wrapping paper - not really using it for it's original intended use so I can't knock it too much.
I got sick of buying Christmas wrapping paper so I bought the brown butcher paper, brown tape, and brown string. People go nuts over brown paper packages tied up in string, apparently, so now I'm cheap AND thoughtful. Just finished up my 3rd Christmas with this thing and the roll is still going strong. I use it to wrap presents all year long (just change the color of string/washi tape/other decorative features). Thick enough for presents and have also used it to paint crafts indoors. Chalkboard and acrylic paint did not go through onto my floor. Used this to cover tables, I worked perfectly. The kids were able to write on it and it protected the tables. We used it over the course of a week, it held up wonderfully. The only time it ripped were in places it had water spilled on it.
