Eco-friendly wrapping

So this year I announced on facebook that I was going to wrap all of my gifts in newsprint. Some have asked for photos so here is a sample of them.

I chose only newsprint that came to my home (flyers, papers, etc) that had something "Christmas" on them. I then wrapped the gifts and tied them with a great ribbon (which I also had in my supply stocks) and then used an assortment of hand-made (not by me) ornaments as the tags.

After wrapping only a few gifts my hands were indeed 'dirty' with newsprint. My son was quite intrigued - he's 2 and not allowed to touch anything with dirty hands...lol. Needless to say I rethought my situation and wrapped his gifts in left-over wrapping paper!

I think they turned out great!
