Make more of a visual impact with less environmental impact this holiday season by wrapping your gifts in brownpaper Co-op bags. We're sure you have a few of those grocery bags laying around your house, so why not give them a new use? We removed the handles, cut the bottoms out of a few bags and wrapped our gifts with a variety of adornments. Here's five ideas to help you step up your gift-giving game:
... tied up with string.
You can use cotton twine, sometimes referred to as baker's twine, to tie up your pretty
packages
... with foraged adornments. Snip a few leaves, twigs and berries to give your gifts a naturally festive feeling
... scented with herbs.
Place a few sprigs of fresh herbs on top of your
packages
to add greenery and savory scent.
... with stamped polka dots.
Jazz up your holiday gifts by taking the eraser on a new pencil, pressing it into an ink pad and stamping your
paper
. Tip: Stamp
paper
before your wrap your gift for ease.
... wrapped up with raffia.
Take a few strands of raffia and tie a big bow around your box. Separate the strands with your fingers to make your bows fuller.
