Easy to make Gift Bags - They show this for Christmas but I think this is a great idea for year round gifts using any left over fabric you may have. It can be used and reused time and time again. Better than paper wrapping!

Wow! What a treasure site for crafts. I'm going to make the Christmas card gift boxes.
I bought some at a craft fair once and used them, but have always wanted to make more. It's a great way to recycle Christmas cards.
