How Do You Find Alternative Wrapping Ideas For Christmas Gifts?
• Use handmade paper. Make the paper yourself at home. Or, purchase handmade paper from retail outlets that support local craft communities and cooperatives around the world. In such places you’ll find handmade paper such as handmade paper using recycled paper, or paper made from hemp, or paper made from elephant dung. • Get creative. Use old magazines or catalogues to come up with innovative wrapping. Despite what you might be thinking, this can look quite incredible. Consider using colour themes such as red and green pictures etc. • Recycle your old wrapping paper. It is easy to do – just sprinkle with water and iron it – it actually works! Use string, ribbon, used yarn or wool instead of sticky tape, which is a bane for landfill.
