There are so many ways to create an eco-friendly yet chic gift wrap for the holidays! Try out a few of these below and go green this season ;)

Use old worn out clothes or extra fabric lying around. Or even make it a gift in a gift by using a scarf. Place a fresh cut flower right in the center of the knot.
People underestimate the beauty of maps. Now that we have GPS we hardly even use them anymore. So break out your old maps and show your friends where you've been.
Try using old calendars and cut out fun shapes likes these leaves to use in place of a bow.
This is a great idea if you're looking to transition to a more eco-friendly foil. Use your old foil to create a sparking xmas gift.
You can grab newspapers anywhere. I love this bow made out of magazines. Think I finally found a use for all those solicitation ads I get in the mail ;P
Use a reusable grocery bag as a bonus gift. I have a few of these reusable bags for groceries.
Unfortunately, not all stores have transitioned into a more eco-friendly bagging service. Maybe we should do it for them by making this cute pom-pom wrap.
The most beautiful and eco friendly gift wrap is right outside your door! Whether you're in a temperate or tropical climate, nature has gifts for you. Plus it gives off a wonderful smell.
Additional eco-friendly wrapping ideas:
Old Music Sheets
Waxed Paper
Brown Grocery Paper Bags
Reusable Boxes
Reuseable Old Wrapping Paper
Wrapping Paper
Re-Purposed Gift Bags: The bags that new sheets come in, burlap sacks from rice, or the plastic ones from citrus – find a new use for what otherwise might be thrown away.
