I actually didn’t buy much at Green Fest. I got the WorldChanging Book, I ate food, and I got a subscription to Plenty. Besides those, the only thing I bought was some very pretty paper from Twisted Limb.

Twisted Limb creates unique cards and invitations from 100% recycled paper. But me, I didn’t buy any cards or invitations.

Instead, I bought paper scraps — a whole bunch of ‘em, for just $8. A bag full of pretty paper scraps, perfect for any DIY project –

And with it, I made myself a buncha 100% recycled nametags, using old business cards.

That’s right — All I used was recycled paper from Twisted Limb, old biz cards, some nontoxic glue, and a hole punch. And I still have a lotta bigger pieces of pretty paper left over, pictured left –

Now, I’m totally ready for the holidays. At least gift-tag wise.

For the less DIY inclined: All the Twisted Limb cards were v. pretty. And if you’re a wannabe DIYer who needs instructions, you might opt for one of Twisted Limb’s DIY kits :)

Otherwise, just get the cheap scraps, like I did. The websites a bit unfriendly, but if you just email them at info@twistedlimbpaper.com and tell ‘em you want the scraps, I’m sure they’ll help you out :)
