I recently wrote an article about creating sustainable packaging which gives useful information about reusing and resourcing materials for product packaging. You may think the applications would only be suitable for mass container design, however much of the book contains very interesting applications that can be used by any arts or crafts business owner.
You might also consider using recycled fabric wraps for your arts and crafts products. One book I recommend is Wrapagami, which is all about the art of gift wrap showing how to use traditional Japanese wraps (furochiki) to wrap customer purchases - using recycled material of course!
