Jute as Ribbon, who would have thought?

This year for Christmas, I have been really into jute! You see, I had some pretty ribbon for my Christmas presents... I tend to procrastinate and so I was wrapping my gifts late at night when all of the sudden, I ran out!!! I went down to the craft area and I spotted some jute I had leftover from my white Halloween pumpkins - perfect ribbon material.

I have also been using reusable bags to wrap my presents in. I look at it as three gifts in one. Allow me to do the math: The receiver gets the original gift wrapped in the reusable bag which becomes gift number two. The third gift is to the environment because there is nothing to throw away!

And lastly, I tried to make a bow out of a recycled Target bag... I am not sure I like it. Any ideas on how to make it better? It has grown on me a bit...

Happy unwrapping all your hard work!!
