While reading a hard copy of this article {involving bloggers} in The Boston Globe today, I became inspired to take a second look at wrapping gifts with old newspapers.
I love the idea of upcycling newspapers hanging around the house into gift wrap.
Here is the article I read...turned to gift wrap within seconds {maybe should have tied the bow before the wine with company last night}:
A bit more festive:
a few recycled magazines thrown in with the newspaper:
Wrapping gifts in newspaper can be cheap and beautiful...
This is a great way to stay green and wrap a gift in a pinch!
Does anyone have any green tips on wrapping gifts? Or currently ever use newspaper?
p.s. today by midnight is the last day to enter the giveaway!
fabulous ideas!!!

The newspaper wrapped with the black bows looks really nice. Takes away that it is newspaper. Thanks for the post.

Such a great idea, your presents look amazing- such a chic green way to wrap presents
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Love how you wrapped :)
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of the newsprint wrap! I also do alot of brown craft paper/butcher paper for Christmas. Your gifts look so pretty! It's the ribbon/embellishments that make it!
ReplyDeleteLoving the black and white with bright pastel ribbons!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully recycled!

I absolutely love using non traditional wrapping techniques. I have always loved using magazines, paper shopping bags, even a little tin foil has been used - I try and buy as little wrapping paper as possible so I am forced to reuse things I have! love it!
ReplyDeleteLove these! and that mini tree is adorable. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh I am off to the newspaper stand in San Francisco to start my wrapping. I'm pretty sure I have bows left over so there will be no need for buying. Great idea sweeties!
ReplyDeleteTotally stealing this one!!! Looks like there will be a lot of newspaper wrapped gifts between the two of us this year!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Car!
Wow, they look great!
