Clearwater Florida Family shares Favorite Eco Friendly Wrapping Project
Green Gift Wrapping: One of our families favorite eco-friendly gift wrapping ideas is to purchase the brown lunch bags and use our rubber stamps to decorate them.
Even my youngest son can do a great job making one-of-a-kind eco-friendly gift wrapping.
A few years ago we found rubber stamps on a roller – these are great for decorating larger items like butcher block paper and holiday cards on recycled paper.
Eco-Friendly Decorations: For years we have combed the beaches and picked shells with a natural hole in them. We can then string them to make a one-of-a kind ornament and my youngest has even made special “shell jewelry” – it’s something everyone treasures.
Can you believe the holidays are around the corner? Do you have a eco-friendly decorating tip or other idea to make our holidays special? I’d love to have you share your tip below…don’t be afraid to comment, it’s always welcome here!
