God calls us to be good stewards. Allow yourself to be led. Whether that is through your craft room, out into the yard, in the forest, down by the pond or on the beach. See what you are led to gather. One way to do this during the holiday season is to forage and recycle your gift wrapping.
⭐Use your old scrap paper/fabric/tissue paper/paper grocery bags/packing material/pages of old magazines or the newspaper.
⭐For ribbon try seaweed, (Dry it out and use it like raffia) ribbon plant leaves, eel grass or other grasses, don’t throw away old clothes cut them into 1/2” strips and wind them up on an old paper towel tube to use as ribbon or use twine from packaging combined with/dried fruit/foliage/ pinecones or sprigs from an evergreen tree or plant.
⭐Put gifts in reused glass jars or tins.
⭐Save your clothing tags, spray paint them with a solid color then use Christmas stamps/hand paint or write on them.
⭐Stencil a grid such as a flower of life on a cloth napkin use it as your gift wrap and put a box of crystals inside that can be used for a crystal grid on the cloth.
