It is no secret I love fabric, so when I stumbled upon this video I knew I needed to share it with you. I love finding ways to wrap gifts in recycled products. Two years ago I wrapped all our gifts in homemade fabric gift bags and grocery bags.
If you don’t sew or use paper grocery bags the Furoshiki gift wrappng method might be the perfect (and unique) way for you to wrap your Christmas gifts this year. The best part is that anyone can do it, and the fabric can be reused over and over. I often search the clearance bins of fabric and find some pretty good deals. I also have enough fabric in my stash to avoid going to the fabric store, but who wants to avoid the fabric store?

In our family. We wrap the boxes – lid and bottom separately so we can re-use the box over and over and over again. I have one box that my mother wrapped over 30 years ago – it’s still being used every Christmas!

Thank you for this post. I love the idea of using fabric to wrap gifts. DH and I did that our first Christmas in our new house, but I had forgotten about it since then. I have some lovely holiday fabric that would be perfect for Christmas presents. Thank you so much for the reminder.

Great ideas. I have a small stash of vintage scarves from the thrift store that would be fun to use for Christmas gift wrapping. Way to be thinking green this season!
