I just love the idea of gift wrapping that can be used over and over again, specifically gift bags made from fabric. They are reliable for wrapping odd shaped gifts (no need for boxes), they can be used to wrap a gift for the next big event, there is less harm to the environment, and if we make these gift bags ourselves using fabric from our collection, that's blah to TADA! all around.
I appreciate how department stores like this one encourage the use of fabric gift bags during the holidays.
Here is another shop that has fabric gift bags available all year round.
This is a gift bag that I made using my sewing machine...TADA!
I also made a pouch using the same fabric...TADA!
A similar pouch made from plain fabric and decorated with Indian block printing...TADA!
If you're not keen into sewing but would still like to use fabric to wrap your gifts, use a handkerchief or a bandana like what I did here:
A handkerchief with a block print...TADA!
A classic bandana, embellished with a handmade gift pendant...TADA!
A dinner napkin made of cloth...TADA!
And this is a new dish towel...TADA!
These are just some ideas to turn gift wrapping from blah to TADA!
