Christmas sacks

[Redken24]

Hi guys!
Wanting a planet friendly sacks for gifts this year. Not sure what's best - Hessian? Cotton? Lots of drawstring bags online but would like to use fabric/poster paint to add stars or merry Christmas.
Does anyone have any ideas or has done this?

Old pillowcases?

I think old pillow cases are a brilliant idea. I’d dye them red and unpick the fold, sew in some cord and then use gold paint to decorate them. Or navy dye and silver paint. Or if you want something bigger and can sew in a straight line, sheets from a charity shop.
