EcoTip of the Week!

One of a kind, recycled gift wrap!

With The Christmas season in full gear, Its time to pull out the decorations and put on some soft Christmas tunes. We dream of a white Christmas...but really want to make it a green one!

For the last 3 years my family has decided to make our own Christmas wrap. Its tones of fun and great bonding time too. We gather up all the Christmas Cards from the previous years. By now friends and family know what we are doing and donate their past cards to the cause. With a large selection of cards to cut up, the decorative options are limitless!

First wrap your gift in brown paper. This works best if you recycle a box for your gift. We have saved paper bags cut them up and put logos to the inside or use the brown paper that come from packed items purchased on line and delivered to your home.

Then all you need are your recylced Christmas cards, scissors, glue sticks and glitter glue. Use the cards and glitter glue to decorate the brown paper.

A glass of Organic Hot Chocolate and Christmas music helps to get the creative juices flowing :)
Some of this years gifts with beautiful and unique gift wrap!
There you have it, a great days fun and the most beautiful wrap you have ever seen! Don't be surprised if the recipients have a hard time opening their one of a kind, over the top, love filled gifts!

Merry Christmas & a Healthy New Year
