Oh my gosh, I just loved this conversation with Monica and Cindy of Rapt Gift Wrap! Their business is fabric wrap, to reduce the paper waste from gift wrapping, and it's so beautiful! I thought the timing of this was perfect; hopefully will give folks time to think about gift waste before the rush.
Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes are friends who started Rapt in Massachusetts to help reduce the paper waste in gift giving - the amount of paper after the holiday season fills dozens of FOOTBALL FIELDS, and they saw a problem and are doing something to try to fix it!
One of my questions was is it appropriate to take the fabric wrap back to reuse it, or ask if someone will use it, and they have answers to that!
They also do some tutorials on the UA-cam podcast episode, so check that out - the link is here: ua-cam.com/video/mut4rECnUXc/v-deo.html I started collecting and saving fabric scraps last year, but then I didn't know what to do with it, so very grateful for the opportunity to see it happen! They also have several tutorials on their website www.raptgiftwrap.com/ They teach the ancient Japanese wrap called Furoshiki and it's so beautiful, and Monica and Cindy say it's much faster than wrapping with paper, even!
