I used newsprint for nearly everything this year. If anyone gets a colorful newsprint catalogue like Lush or a weekly newspaper from their university like I do, these are great alternatives to wrapping paper! I dressed them up with ribbon I had saved and one bag of shiny bows from the dollar store.
I just love the idea of something that is normally thrown away being repurposed and made beautiful again. And I’m super excited to share these packages with my family…
Some other ideas for wrapping: recycled brown paper grocery bags, magazines, and old calendars.
What about you? What crafty Christmas tricks are you trying out this year?
love, elizabeth

This is an awesome idea! Saves money too, I love it.
Not only does recycled wrapping paper save money, but I think it adds a personal touch. I'm all for it!
Brown paper packages tied up with strings...these are a few of my favorite things...REALLY!
Great ideas! I'm making homebaked goodie tins for my co-workers. I'm excited to see the turn out on those! :)
Looks lovely! You are so wonderfully creative, Elizabeth. :)
I did this the first couple years we were married to try and save money. You've just inspired me to do it again this year. Thanks!
