ECO Gift Wrapping IdeasMy daughter and I discovered some more eco-friendly gift wrapping ideas while we were wrapping stocking stuffers for hubby together! We would love to hear some of your eco-friendly wrapping ideas.

Homemade Material Bags
Last year for Christmas, I asked my Mom to make me some gift bags out of material. She is a super sewer unlike yours truly and she even added ties onto the top of the bags. She made a variety of sizes; some are small stocking stuffer size and some are HUGE Santa Sack sized!

Reuse tissue paper
Although using tissue paper isn't eco-friendly, in our house, tissue paper lasts years and years. After we open gifts, we fold the paper back up and store it away for next year. Often we don't use tape to wrap the gifts, just a piece of ribbon that can also be reused.

Packing Paper
If you receive shipped packages in the mail, they often come stuffed with brown craft paper to protect your item. Throughout the year, I save that paper and we use that as stocking stuffer paper and sometimes even regular gift wrapping paper. We add personal touches to the outside of the packages by drawing with markers or crayons.

So, what are your eco-friendly wrapping tips? Please share them in the comments.
