The internet is loaded with great ideas for wrapping gifts. I found several posts that struck a chord in my recycling soul. The use of a single HUGE roll of brown Kraft paper and a roll of heavy duty clear tape does the trick for all your wrapping needs. And this Kraft paper is recyclable! Adding the fun and the color and bling and fru-fru is completely up to you and your creative genius. I had a blast using a bunch of art supplies I keep on hand for just such a festive project.
Thanks, South Tulsa Living, for featuring my Living Green...one step at a time column for December's issue. I loved doing the photo shoot for this one and only wish I'd had real gifts to wrap way back in October when I wrote this article. That would have been too smart.
Here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
