Reusable Christmas gift Wrapping Ideas
Using recycled fabric to wrap Christmas gifts is a thoughtful alternative to wrapping paper. And you'll be giving two gifts in one! Inspired by the Japanese tradition of furoshiki, which uses origami-like techniques, this method is both a beautiful and more sustainable zero-waste option. Scarves, handkerchiefs and tea towels, as well as spare fabric are all great options for fabric gift wrapping that most people already have spares of at home. If you’re in need of more materials, Oxfam’s online shop is full of second-hand options such as fabric or second-hand silk scarves. You could even use one of our recycled sari bags to wrap your Christmas gift making it 2 gifts in 1!
