i'm kinda disappointed with myself for not checking out {pinterest} for gift packaging ideas earlier. but, i noticed a common trend - kraft paper! not only is it really cool and a huge roll can be used for many occasions but it's also eco-friendly and you can dress it up any way you want... with yarn, buttons and ribbon. if you want to skimp on the tag completely, just stamp the name of the recipient on the front.
don't you love that?
and if you really want to have a eco-friendly holiday..visit your local trader joe's where their holiday shopping bags can be reused as gift wrap and tags. love!
i LOVE wrapping gifts in kraft :) so many possibilities for garnishes!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best - I wrapped all my presents this year in kraft paper! The best part is you can use it for wrapping any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with kraft paper lol...I use it to wrap everything I ship out from my store:) It's perfect because it looks just as good with some cool twine as it does with pretty satin ribbon!
