Every December, there is a joyful and warm atmosphere in the air, and we can’t wait to welcome Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The company’s dinner draws, the exchange of gifts among friends, and the Christmas blessings from lovers Or the warm time of family gathering, the part of gift wrapping is definitely indispensable.
But this year, we have to shoulder a major mission to save the earth. In order not to let the festival become a reason to waste resources, we must also use the most environmentally friendly way to wrap gifts:
1. Reusable fabric
In the past, when wrapping gifts, I always had trouble choosing wrapping paper. Even if the gift inside is not that good, the outer packaging must be exquisite to look stylish. But this time, you might as well use the traditional method and use beautiful fabrics for packaging. Not only can it increase the feel, but the fabrics can also be reused for other purposes, such as napkins, lunch boxes, patchwork, etc.
2. Pottery pots for growing flowers and plants
If you are giving some small and exquisite gifts and do not have the original packaging box, you can go to a plant store to buy a pottery pot. You can pile some old newspapers or soil in it, then place the gift you want to give on top and cover it. A water collecting cover can be a very creative and reusable gift.
3. Old newspapers or magazine materials
If you have expired old newspapers or magazines, you can also use them as wrapping paper materials. You just need to put a little more ingenuity into the packaging, fold it into a little variety, or add straw rope or flowers (or even dried flowers). ), can become a unique packaging design.
4. Unwanted old shirts or sweaters
If you have an old shirt or sweater, please don’t throw it away yet. The cut cuffs can be used to package wine bottles or cylindrical gifts, or the whole shirt can be used to package it. You can mark it with unnecessary A bow tie makes the gift more original, or you can use a rope to wrap it around casually and tie it with a blessing card. Even if it is just a simple gift of red or white wine, the recipient will feel that you are very thoughtful.
5. Various unnecessary paper bags
When we often buy bread or go to the supermarket, we will have kraft paper bags as carrier bags, which can be used as materials for wrapping gifts; you can draw some patterns by yourself, or use wooden clips, hemp rope or cotton thread , tie some decorations, and it will become very textured.
