The holidays are really creeping up on us this year, and as we continue to accumulate gifts for our friends and family, we're getting closer and closer to the inevitable - gift wrapping. All together now - groaaaan!
This year, do away with all that wasteful and waxy holiday gift wrap, and try something a little different - eco-friendly wrapping. This video from recyclenow will show you creative ways to gift wrap your presents using a piece of fabric.
At the end of the video, it even shows you how to easily make your own bag (one that you're guaranteed to not see someone else carrying.)

I love this. You could easily get a few cool looking pieces of fabric at the fabric store (for super cheap, I might add), and re-use it again and again. Same with ribbon - no need for paper ribbons when you can get the real thing and re-use it! It doesn't have to just be for holidays either - think birthdays. You could be infinitely creative.
Just another creative way to be a little bit more environmentally friendly!
