Zero waste wrapping

No need for single-use wrapping paper that is literally ripped up and then discarded after one use, try these three wrapping ideas instead...
1. Wrap presents using a scarf, handkerchief or cloth napkin - I scored this one at a thrift store for $1. Not only does it look chic, it works as an added gift too!
2. Wrap presents using newspaper - make it look luxe by adding ribbon or twine
3. Add vintage brooches to decorate - they make any present shine. They are often less than $2 a piece and make a present even more special!
An added tip is adding natural elements to your wrapping such as eucalyptus leaves, evergreen ferns or flowers! They look stunning and are totally compostable too. Let your creativity go wild!
Your approach to zero-waste wrapping is both practical and inspiring. The way you broke down simple, eco-friendly alternatives makes it easy for readers to adopt sustainable habits without feeling overwhelmed. I recently came across a discussion on a site like https://www.inspereza.com/ that highlighted similar creative approaches to reducing waste, which added an interesting perspective. Your examples really make sustainability feel achievable in everyday life.
