With all of the excess paper and packaging we have in our recycling bins there’s absolutely zero reason to purchase gift wrap + presenting your gifts in fun, unique (& reusable) packages makes them even more special!
Here’s a few Quick & Easy Recycled Gift Boxes & Bags to get you started:
Grab few empty packages from your recycling bin.
Carefully deconstruct a box.
And then reconstruct it inside out.
Decorate, pop a gift inside and tie with a pretty scrap of ribbon!
Snag a paper (or foil) bag package – Scrunch up the bottom – Carefully push the bottom up through the top – Flip the bag inside out
Decorate and pop a gift inside!
(If you’re a stickler for smoothness you can easily de-wrinkle the paper bag by laying it on flat surface, covering it with a tea towel and ironing the whole shebang on a medium heat.)
Any type of packaging that can be easily turned inside out can be used, yay!
Don’t want to bother reconstructing your gift wrap?

Great Ideas!!
Cheers Cathy, there really is no reason to buy wrapping gear at all! 🙂
