Reusable Christmas Gift Wrap Week
A whole week's worth of reusable Christmas gift wrap tutorials brought to you by my lovely sponsor, Holly of Cherry Lane Textiles.
Here's how it's gonna go:
A while back Holly sent me this awesome fat quarter pack of some of the wonderful Christmas prints from her shop:
Then I worked my little patootie off over Thanksgiving break to get all of our gifts wrapped. And now I'm ready to show you how! I've got 8 (oooh 8!) different reusable gift wrap tutorials to share with you, so starting a little later today, I'll be sharing at least one tutorial each day this week until we get through all eight! (And, I must confess, I've still got one more gift to wrap and one more fat quarter to use, so hopefully I'll have that one figured out by the end of the week and I'll be able to share that one with you too.)
But hang on. What's with the reusable gift wrap? Why not just go buy some wrapping paper at the dollar store? (Uhh... cuz that's what we usually do.) Well, besides the fact that these Christmas prints are super charming, I've compiled a quick list of all the reasons I love this reusable gift wrap:
- It's eco friendly (hello, it's reusable!)
- You can buy the fabric and make the wrapping once... and then not have to worry about it next year!
- It's easier for little ones to open on their own, but can be tied up easily so little ones won't rip into the presents until you're ready
- It gives your gifts an extra special feel
- And finally (my favorite reason), you can open up wrapped gifts and re-wrap them as many times as you want... and nobody will ever know!
So. How would you like to win a fat quarter pack of Christmas prints from Cherry Lane Textiles for your very own? Say, a fat quarter each of these seven prints?
Ahh, I thought you might say that. :) So I'm going to make it easy for you.

Oh gosh the Riley Blake - Wheels - Brown Map is so adorable! My little guy has decided he's finally ready to wear clothes without fighting me, of course, they have to be ones he picks, so I've been making him lots of pants, that fabric would make some very adorable pants.
I'm always partial to Riley Blake, and I think the Bloom & Grow and Rainy Days & Mondays are my favorites, especially the raindrop stripes.
I love all of the Hooty Hoot Kangaroo fabrics--so cute!

I love the Rainy days and Mondays-White umbrella tops the best But I also love the Hooty Hoot Kangaroo Fat Quarter pack!
I LOVE yellow rain polkadot. But I love all the polkadots ... :) Is it wrong to love fabric so much when you can't even sew?!
We are using Arora's art work as wrapping paper this year. It look so cute. Love the cloth idea too.
ARGH! I hate the edges poking through the paper dilemma! Good call on using fabric. Man, you are definitely my family friend!

Cute, cute! Hmm....favorite print, it has to be the Christmas print with the cute little penguins, and bears and kids all bundled up.

Dreaming in French - Berry Coquette. That is definintly my favorite AND I want to make all of those reusable bags. School just ended for me as of 5 minutes ago so that's what I am going to do now :)
I think the Eskimos are my favorite, but I also liked the wheels fabric by Riley Blake.
I like the reusable wrapping....I will have to come back to this next year since I am finally done wrapping presents, I hope.
I like the Summer Song patterns, especially the pink stripe. And I gravitate towards cheery circles in just about any color. These Christmas prints are super cute, too!
