How we at Rekindle Upcycling celebrated the holidays differently this year?

At Rekindle Upcycling this holiday season we did not purchase any wrapping paper. I personally already made a practice out of reusing gift boxes, and gift containers, but I wanted to make more of an impact. This holiday season I only used old wrapping paper I had from previous years or used other inventive ways to wrap gifts. I also created a lot of tote gift bags this holiday season that were a hit! I plan to use the rest of the stash of wrapping paper I have and plan to not purchase any more. I will be researching and experimenting with other ways to wrap ecofriendly and beautifully in an upcoming issue, and my adventures on that topic. What other environmentally friendly sustainable swaps did you make this holiday season, or plan to make next holiday season? Please share your eco-friendly swaps with us on our Forum on www.rekindleupcycling.org, and our Facebook page at rekindle upcycling LLC, we would love to feature your ideas in future issues.
