3. Fabric Wrap
A stylish and eco-friendly option, fabric wrapping involves using a beautiful fabric to wrap your gift and tying it with a ribbon or twine. By using reusable fabrics like scarves, handkerchiefs, or tea towels, you reduce waste from disposable paper and plastic. This simple switch can make a significant impact on the environment, promoting sustainability and reducing your carbon footprint.
4. Newspaper Wrap
A rustic and vintage-inspired technique, newspaper wrapping involves wrapping your gift in newspaper, then adding a ribbon or twine and a decorative tag. Alternatively, create replicative designs on the newspaper with stamp and ink pad before wrapping it up.
