Wrap it!

When you see how easy it is to create these eco-friendly packages, you’ll be dying to get your hands on some tea towels and bento bags! Here are two shamefully easy ideas for wrapping with a multi-purpose mindset. Tea towel and bento bag were both purchased through Banjo’s Field.

Tea Towel Gift Wrap

You’ll need: a tea towel, ribbon or string, and a sprig or tag for finish.
Instructions move from left to right.

Step #1

Place box roughly in the middle of the tea towel.

Step #2

Fold the two short sides over the top of the box. If your package isn’t too delicate, you can start at the far side of the tea towel and roll the box tightly until you run out of fabric.

Step #3

Take loose sides of fabric (top and bottom in the picture) and fold in to make a rectangle. Fold each side tightly to the top and pinch any lose fabric under the fold.

Step #4

Place box on top of ribbon and tie ribbon in a tight knot. Add a sprig or a tag to finish!

Bento Bag Gift Wrap

You’ll need: a bento bag, and a sprig or tag for finish.

Step #1

Place baked item or box in middle of bento bag.

Step #2

Take the two tails from either side and tie a tight knot. Add a sprig to finish!
