The holiday season is a time for spending time with your family and is often celebrated with the exchanging of gifts. Many people want to buy or make gifts that are creative and inexpensive. Buy why stop at the gifts? You can create creative and inexpensive gift wrapping as well. One way to create unique and inexpensive wrapping paper would be to use recycled materials. By using recycled materials you not only save money, but can help the environment as well. Here are five ideas on how to create beautiful holiday gift wrappers that are environmentally friendly.

1. Fabric Gift Bags. If you are an avid sewer, then chances are you have scrap pieces of fabric lying around. You can use this fabric to create beautiful holiday gift bags that can be later reused by the recipient. The fabric gift bags can either be recycled for other presents or the recipient can use them to hold other things. You can use extra ribbon to tie off the top of the bag or sew in a drawstring closure. These gift bags may make great gift wrap for young children's presents as sometimes young children have a hard time ripping off wrapping paper. The child can then use the bag to house their toys.

2. Newspaper. You can recycle newspaper by turning it into fun and creative gift wrapping paper. Colorful comics from the Sunday paper would make a great choice. The food and wine section would also make a great choice. Not only will the recipient get a gift but a recipe that they may want to try as well.

Great ideas. We used to use brown paper bags and then decorate them growing up. I never throw away a gift bag either! Good job. :)
