Holiday gift giving doesn't have to mean giant trash bags full of discarded wrapping paper. Here are a few eco-friendly gift wrapping ideas to help make your holidays less wasteful. The best thing about these wrappings is that they're not only earth friendly, but can be reused year after year.
1. Fused Gift Bags
Use this tutorial to make beautiful reusable gift bags out of old plastic bags.
2. Cloth Bags
Perfect for little trinkets, these simple drawstring bags can be made from scraps of fabric.
3. Fabric Gift Wrap
Fabric wraps with ribbon ties provide just as much anticipation as regularly wrapped gifts, but with no paper waste.
4. Gift Containers
These small coffee tins and cheese boxes covered with fabric not only look beautiful, they make gift wrapping a snap.
5. Reusable Gift Tags
Now that you've gone paperless in your wrapping, how about whipping up a few reusable gift tags as well? You can write the recipient's name with a "mark b gone" marker and use these fabric tags over and over.
