Making my own Wrapping Paper

So a few weeks ago I went to Lowe's with Lauren and Jeff and we found this huge roll of brown paper. We looked at it and though, wow, this could be cool to make our own wrapping paper, and much cheaper. It was $9.99 and it will probably last me two years. Afterwards I went to the craft store and bought a few holiday stamps and some ink, which were all on sale, and I will stamp some of the paper for Christmas. A pretty cheap and creative way to save money.
Now I don't have to buy wrapping paper for a while.
