Lots of options! 🎁

🎁 Day 1: Sustainable Gift Wrapping

Ditch traditional wrapping paper and add a creative flair to your gifts this holiday season, using materials like fabric, comic books or newspapers. Upcycle Artist recommends Japanese furoshiki wrapping (use cloth or fabric to wrap gifts) for a beautiful, eco-friendly touch.

🎶 Dashing through the store,
With reusable bags in tow,
Wrapping gifts with care,
Keeping garbage low.

Reduce landfill waste,
With every gift you wrap,
Use cloth and string, and other things,
To cut down on the scrap! 🎶
