Unfortunately, a little too late, but you’ll have plenty of time for next year, and for many other occasions. My friend had sewn up reusable bags made with decorative cloth. This time it was Christmas and winter scenes. She sewed up a number of different sizes and make them like pillow cases. Enza had beautiful ribbons that were tied to hold the contents in, but you could also make a drawstring through the bags and just have the end of the ribbon visable.
The difference in “opening the presents” was the missing sound of paper tearing. If you care about the environment, you know that most of the garbage in landfills is wasted paper from TREES!! How great will you feel when you can give a gift that also protects the environment! It sounds like a Win-Win to me!
Just think, you can now make a beautiful cloth reusable gift bag – and that too, can become part of the gift.
Remember, Valentine’s day is coming up soon! Mother’s day, father’s day, graduation, birthdays…. WOW, just think of all the paper we can save. REDUCE is the important words here!
