8 Eco Friendly Gift Wrap Ideas

Growing up, we were the family that never, EVER ripped the wrapping paper. We carefully peeled away the tape pieces and refolded the paper so it could be used again. I’m pretty sure I had the exact same piece of wrapping paper on my birthday presents for 18 years. My mom is the queen of eco-friendly gift wrap because it literally never got thrown out. But short of recycling the same paper for a couple of decades, here are some really fun DIY eco-friendly gift wrap ideas!

Finding creative ways of wrapping presents can really be half the fun of gift-giving! Everyone will ohh and ahh over your efforts and you can save your slice of humble pie for another day. Nobody forgets an occasion where the wrappings were just as amazing as the gifts!

Eco Friendly Gift Wrap Ideas

I’ve been making efforts lately to try to reduce the amount of waste we produce in our household, slowly but surely finding better options and making better choices. When you stop to think about it, buying paper that will almost immediately be thrown in the garbage seems a little silly. I think we can do better!

1. Fabric Wrap

Have a search around for a length of fabric, a pretty cloth napkin or a silky scarf that you can wrap furoshiki style.

2. Sweaters

A sweater sleeve is the perfect size for containing a bottle of wine. Simply sew (or glue for that matter) the raw end of the sleeve closed and use a pretty ribbon to tie up the other end! If you were really feeling crafty, you could turn the body of the sweater into a larger gift bag as well.

3. Kraft Paper & Stamps

This is maybe not the most eco-friendly but it can be way fun and allows for a ton of creativity. This is a great activity to do with kids too. You can roll out a huge piece of the paper across your dining table and let the kids go nuts. You could use stickers or washi tape and if you’re feeling really brave you can add some glitter too. Scrapbook.com is my go-to site for all things stamping and crafting, you can find practically anything there!

4. Kraft Paper & Foliage

In an effort to make the kraft paper idea a little more eco-friendly & reusable, you could leave the paper blank and add easily removable details like foliage, flowers or paper cut outs.

5. Burlap

Save your rice bags and anything else that comes packaged in burlap. Wrap it up with a lace ribbon or weave in some leftover lengths of yarn for pops of colour.

6. Tea Towel

A tea towel is the perfect wrap for a food themed gift. Bake up some goodies and wrap them up in a useful & pretty tea towel for the perfect not too specific gift! (aka suitable for anyone on your list!) These tea towels from Canadian designer Avril Loreti are some of my absolute faves!

7. Music Sheets & Book Pages

Use sheets of music to make an envelope or gift bag. Book pages are the perfect wrap for the book lover in your life!

8. Newspaper, Comic Books & Magazine Pages

You could stamp or colour on top of the newspaper to add some pretty detail.  Comic book or magazine pages can be turned into DIY bow toppers too!

9. Reusable Fabric Gift Bags

I recently created this simple DIY reusable fabric gift bag tutorial for Christmas. It has pretty metallic details and can be used year after year!

Bonus Idea:

One thing I do every year is turn the Christmas cards I received into gift tags for the following Christmas. I happen to have a punch that cuts out the tags, but you could easily cut them out by hand. This idea works great with birthday cards too!

With this list you’ll likely spend more time creating the perfect package than picking out the gift!

What’s the prettiest gift wrap you’ve either given or received?

Happy Wrapping!
