These are really great budget-friendly wrapping lessons. My Aunt taught me the trick of using tea towels to wrap shower and housewarming gifts. It is a love little "bonus present" and it saves on waste going to the landfill. It is always nice to be conscious of the items we are using to wrap. The one with the little buttons is absolutely precious. I bet my nephews would love gluing those on for decoration!

Well Christmas is already past but valentines day is coming up and we still need to be economic and eco friendly. Here's another way to use mason jars and brown grocery shopping bags...decorated with tonnes of glitter and some ribbon or lace and they look fancy and cute just like a store bought one. The bags come in different sizes so they fit all your needs. I'm never buying a box or wrapping paper after reading this.

These are some really interesting ideas for gift wrapping. The decorated tins are so pretty and really do make use of something you'd just throw away. I had a friend who gave their daughter a car for her birthday - they wrapped it in bed sheets with a big bow on the top. It looked fantastic.
