Green holiday wrap

If you've managed to avoid buying wrapping paper so far this year, why not avoid it forever. Consider making your own fabric bags to use as gift wrap. Not only is this more environmentally friendly, but it can save you big for future holidays. All you need is a basic sewing machine and some fabric off the closeout rack. I personally prefer solid color or basic pattern fabrics, but if you prefer seasonal ones make sure you check back after the holidays for more fabrick at 75% or more savings.
