I am always striving to do more of the little things in my life to be more planet friendly. So when I found Fabricwrapper.com I thought it was a great idea! I think we have all been there, sitting with the giant trash bag at holidays and birthdays stuffing loads of wrapping paper,tissue,bags and bows down in it. Or we may have tried to recycle by trying to save the salvageable pieces for the next Christmas, birthday,baby shower etc, but that can be a challenge. Trying to store them until and finding things that are decent enough to reuse isn't always easy. But why WASTE the paper at all? Stephanie Lancaster has a solution! Not only are these Fabricwrappers offered in adorable patterns they are also like a bonus present because they can be reused over and over again! Talk about a gift that keeps on giving :)
Traditional gift-wrap produces a lot of unnecessary waste. In fact, the Sierrra Club tells us that if everyone wrapped just three gifts a year in reused or reusable gift-wrap, we would all save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields!

I have had tons of fabric scine a friend of mines grandmtoher passed away a few years ago. I have been doing just this thing with it and am about to get a whole bunch more! Ita really does cut back on the paper waste and the cost is a great save for me since i inherited all i have. Greatest thing is kids have just as much fun taking off the material and playing in it as the paper and you can just fold thes material back up and stash it neatly somewhere oh hey like in my new sewing room lol!I dont always put bows or ribbons on mine and I just realized how to do that! Hannah you are so full of good info and advice you get an A+ for sharing all that wisdom!
ReplyDeleteOhh...I love Daisey Dreams! I think I would use this for my mom or aunt and then I'm sure they would reuse it for the many gifts they give! Kind of like a pay it forward thing.

I would love the organic twill fabric, it's so gender neutral and friendly for holidays and birthday's alike. I'd love to use it for my family members because I know they'd pass it on.

My pick is the Organic Will Natural - yay for organic! I love the thought of having something reusable for gifts. I don't have a large family, but it's amazing how much paper I put in the recycling bins this past Christmas. Even though the paper was recyclable, a reusable wrap makes so much more sense.

I would choose the snow crystals gift bag because I think it would look super cute under the tree! I always mean to make gift bags for the holidays, but I never have the time (especially right before the holidays!).
