You can cut up paintings into 2 x 8 inch strips and then laminate or use plain! I actually use of extra watercolor paper I have from when I trim pieces. Using up scraps is the best!

Cutting out elements from paintings and using them in another artwork is a great way to re-purpose watercolor paintings! I painted this teepee, but didn't like the background I had it in, so I cut it out and stuck it in this collage that I pasted to a plain board along with cuttings of scrapbook paper.
Use watercolor cut-outs to decorate fun cards! You can use a circle or any other shape paper puncher to cut out cool elements to use on those cards too.
Cut out small strips from watercolor paintings and punch a hole in the top to create cute gift tags! You can round the top or leave it square. Just attach a bit of string and you are good to go.
Cut out large shapes of old watercolor paintings and sew or string them together to make a colorful paper garland! I used a large flower paper punch to cut out these lovely pieces for my garland.
Use shape paper punches to create a fun piece of art by placing the shapes together on paper in rows! I took a butterfly paper punch to an old watercolor and ink painting and glued the butterflies to an 8x10 piece of watercolor paper.
How do you re-use old paintings or supplies? Leave your ideas in the comments!
