Ditching Disposables: Three Crafty Ways to Replace Single Use Paper

3. Reusable Gift Wrap

We’ve talked about reusable gift wrap here before, and there are tons of ways that you can use your crafty skills to make the gift wrap part of the present. My absolute favorite reusable gift wrap option is furoshiki, like in the video above. You can make your own furoshiki by simply hemming the edges of a large piece of your favorite fabric. Traditionally, you’d want it to be around 21″ square.

Of course, there are some paper products, like toilet paper, that you just can’t part with. In those cases, 100% recycled paper is the best option.
