A bit of a theme this week—fabric and magazines! Wrap your presents in style, save that old Ikea furniture and your favorite jeans. Looking to kill an hour online? Check out these 3 great online green mags!

• How to Wrap Gifts in Fabric
  This Japanese poster shows you 14 different ways to wrap items in fabric—why doesn’t our govenment do anything this smart, creative, and effective?
• Ikea Slipcovers from Bemz
  I’ll admit to having more than my share of Ikea furniture, so I’m ecsatic to see a company catering to us poor post–college kids and those who don’t want to ditch a perfectly good armchair because the fabric is ratty.
• Denim Therapy
  This New York shop will repair that favorite pair of jeans you can’t stand to turn into rags. Via Treehugger.
• Greenlight, The Ecologist, and Seed Magazines
  I don’t have time to keep up with all three, but when I can steal a moment to read an article or two, I always head over to one of these magazines. Seed isn’t technically “green,” but it’s chock–full of great, down to earth science articles.
