If you have been thrift shopping for a
while now, you probably have seen
thrift store finds that you can use as a
gift wrapping.
To help save the environment by
reducing waste, upcycling giftwrap
can be very helpful!
You can present gifts in several
creative ways, making them look
unique and interesting even before
anyone looks inside. Use the following
materials:
1. Maps
Thrift stores have many paper maps.
With advancements in technology
and the introduction of Google Maps
and Waze, these once essential tools
have now become relics of the past.
Their designs are unique and will
make a perfectly attractive wrapping
paper. Their designs are unique and
will make a perfectly attractive green
wrapping paper.
2. Magazines
Like maps, magazines can also make
beautiful wrapping paper. If you need
to wrap a large item, you may connect
several pages using tape to create a
bigger sheet. You can easily find old
magazines in a thrift shop book stash.
3. Newspapers
Unlike maps and magazines, you can
get a constant supply of newspapers.
It is not difficult to find.
You might even get it for free at your
door on a regular basis. However, if
you need more than what you have
saved, go to a thrift shop!
Newspaper sheets make a good-sized
upcycled wrapper. While it is not as
colorful as magazines, you can color it
to make it more attractive.
4. Cardboard Boxes
People do lots of online shopping
these days, and most are delivered in
cardboard boxes. Thrift stores often
get a good supply of these materials
from donations.
You can actually use cardboard boxes
for your gifts. While they are plain
and simple, tying them up with a
piece of string and using added
decorations like glitter will make
them look perfectly gift-like!
5. Padded Envelopes
Used envelopes are perfect for
wrapping small gift items. All you
need to do is cover the address and the
stamps on it using stickers. Wrap
them up with a colorful ribbon, and
you are good to go!
6. Brown Paper
Similar to cardboard boxes, you might
find brown papers lurking in the
packages you get from online
purchases and donations. These are
definitely good options for green
wrapping paper!
Be creative! Check on the trends to
see which designs will go well with a
string or a ribbon.
Some might tuck a sprig of seasonal
leaves under a string to make it look
presentable. This should be easy if you
have some greenery nearby.
7. Toilet Roll Tubes
Did you know that you can also use a
toilet roll tube to wrap presents? They
can make a cute little package that’s
perfect for small items.
Fold both ends of the tubes and glue
or tape them. You can draw on it or
add colorful cut-outs. It’s easy to make
it look lovely!
8. Kids’ Artwork or Coloring Books
Do you have children at home? Do they
bring lots of artwork home from
school?
You can actually use these
masterpieces to wrap gifts for your
family and closest friends. It would be
sweet to have something personalized
and hand-made, even when you wrap
gifts that came from the store.
9. Glass Jars
Glass jars and bottles make the best
containers for homemade gifts!
You can add home-made bath salts,
soaps, biscuits, brownies, cakes, and
more with these. They are very
affordable too. Thrift stores have
them in different designs and sizes!
10. Baskets
Baskets are cheap at thrift shops and
are highly practical. Get one that is a
perfect match for your gift size, and
just add a tag! Your recipient can
recycle it as well, and the basket can
be used for storage afterward.
11. Clay Flower Pots
Another creative way to present a gift
is the use of clay flower pots.
Just like baskets, you can easily place a
gift inside the pot and decorate it if
you wish. Pots often come with a
bottom dish to catch water; use it as a
lid and tie with twine, a ribbon, or an
elastic band.
12. Shopping Bags
Obviously, shopping bags are easy to
reuse for gifts. You can give it as it is or
cut it up to use as wrapping paper.
Whichever you choose, they will
make a perfect green wrapping paper!

beautifully with less waste? Head to

wrapping paper.
