Eco-Friendly Gift Wrap Ideas

Even though the most hardcore eco-friendly gift wrap

would be to use no wrapping at all.....that's too much

for me even though I have been known to tape down

the store bag and pretend I have wrapped it enough.

Eco-Friendly Gift Wrap Ideas:

* Sunday Comic Newspaper

* Old Magazine paper for little stuff

* Old Posters

* Homemade Fabric Bags

* Handkerchifs / Bandanas ~ good for odd shaped stuff - just

bring all four corners together at the top and tie with hemp/ string

* Use old sheets & use safety pins

* For baby gifts, use a baby or nursing blanket w/ diaper pins and then they can wash & use the blanket too.

* Just use fabric ~ great idea for the crafty [person] in your life.

* No wrapping ~ use a wooden basket & pretty arrangement.

Have any other ideas to add to the list?

Oh, and since Spring and Easter are coming soon, here's a link about how to have an fun and eco-friendly time! Enjoy!
