Reusable Gift Bags


"Wrapping gifts each Christmas can be expensive and 1000's of tons of paper goes to landfill each year. Why not reduce the waste this Christmas by making simple reusable gift bags. If you can make them from old fabric even better, I made mine from an old duvet quilt cover. Just make sure that whoever you give the bag too knows they either need to reuse it again next year! Each bag takes just a few minutes to make but uses french seams so there are no raw edges inside and the bag will last for years. "
