Items Around the HomeConsider recycling items around the home and using items found in nature to wrap your presents this year. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it will add a beautiful and unique look to your gifts that are sure to stand out from all of the others.

Try using newspaper to wrap your presents instead of buying expensive

wrapping paper. Also consider using paper bags for paper. Simply cut them

to fit your gift and make sure to show the side with no writing.

Instead of using bows and lace to finish off your gifts, consider going out and

finding pine cones, leaves or twigs to add final touches to your presents.

Kraft Paper Wrapping

5

Kraft paper is a great resource for wrapping your gifts for the

holidays. It will also save you money, as it is much cheaper

than traditional wrapping paper and looks amazing! Not only

does it look great, but it is also extremely durable and tear

resistant, so it is perfect for long car rides or any traveling

that you will need to do. In addition to its durability, it is also

100% recyclable which makes it very environmentally friendly.

Use Kraft paper to wrap gifts as you normally would and

watch your gifts stand out from all the rest!

Heat iron.

Punch out desired amount of

heart-shaped designs from the

tissue paper.

Layer the holiday shapes (tree,

snowflake, heart, etc) in desired

pattern in between 2 layers of

wax paper.

Iron over the top layer of wax

paper to seal the heart-shaped

tissue paper cut outs inside.

After wax paper has cooled and

sealed, wrap baked goods with

twine or string.
