It takes just seconds to drop a present into the bag and they look much nicer than I could ever wrap with paper before.

I love your ideas about gift wrap. Pinning! When my oldest daughter got married, we used a lot of white tulle. I couldn't bear to throw away all that tulle and the lovely silk flowers and leaves, so I brought them home. Used them for some church dances, and then had about two or more years worth of gift wrap before I finally wore it all out or gave it away on the gifts. It was prettier, less expensive, and much more planet-friendly than buying all that paper and tape. Yep, I'm a big tree hugger:) Have a great weekend!Fresh Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430735373747430943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-12777764451111718922013-04-05T07:15:28.767-07:002013-04-05T07:15:28.767-07:00Such a GREAT idea for gift wrapping!
