I absolutely love presents.
Giving them, getting them, even wrapping presents is something I get pumped about.
Yes, Im the weirdo in the family that creases the corners to get those sharp perfect edges.
And maybe I judge the wrapping of others, but thats besides the pointall that is changing this year.
Im jumping on the sustainable fabric gift wrap train, and I hope youll join me for the ride.
Whats the point of fabric gift wrap?
Fabric gift wrap is not a new thing.
Its so widely used I wonder why its not more of a popular practice in America.
Using paper gift wrap can be attractive, I agree.
It is, truly, so much waste.
Additionally, as if you needed a reminder this holiday season, nice wrapping paper is inordinately expensive.
Even if you only use it for half of your presents, thats a big difference.
I got aset of four recently from Bees Wrapand fell head over heels simply on the pattern and feel.
it’s possible for you to add pleats, multiple wraps that overlap, or beautiful knots.
Ill be honest here; I havent tried to get fancy with it.
I put a box diagonally on the square and tie the opposite ends.
Then with the other two flaps I tie a loose knot.
Even though I’m definitely doing it the lazy way, it looks great!
Almost any gift can be wrapped beautifully with fabric.
The only real difficulty is in wrapping extra-large presents.
Most of these cotton squares wont fit.
No more paper cuts, and no more running out of tape.
Fabric gift wrap actually makes a great gift, as well.
It might seem weird to give sustainable gift wrapasthe gift, but Id be pretty stoked about it.
Happy gifting, all.
