Making your own holiday gift bags can be as simple as sewing three seams—if you need to get it done quick-quick-quick to get it all ready for Old St. Nick! Or if you take just a little more time, you can finish it out with a drawstring or add some fancier touches, like corners to accommodate larger items and boxes. With minimal sewing and fabric you find at a thrift store, you can make a set of bags that let you say goodbye to wrapping paper for good!
Here's one tutorial for a simple drawstring bag:

Of course, there are plenty of other eco-friendly ways to wrap gifts. Get creative with some ribbon and a pretty pillowcase. Reuse the Full Circle delivery bag that's getting a bit too worn to hold groceries. Or just slip a Full Circle e-gift card in everyone's inbox and call it good! ;)
