I like to wrap my Christmas gifts in pretty cloth. That way the wrapping is functional and can be used instead of wrapping paper that just ends up in the garbage.

Most people enjoy the novelty of a second small gift with their gift. Especially if they know I created the finish on the cloth by hand.

When I have finished printing with my lino stamps, I clean off the sponge roller on a piece of white cloth. I can create bold stripes or checks this way. The fabric is striking on its own, or as the base for more prints. It is a way to use up the leftover paint in the sponge, rather than washing it down the drain.

Have YOU ever used fabric for gift wrap?
