Paper Goods
Yep, you can dye paper. it’s a perfect match for invitations, greeting cards or scrapbook pages—and in this case, gift tags. We got a little creative an even used a foam brush to create some lines and interesting patterns.
Ombre Cotton Scrap Ribbon
The secret behind the rustic, unfinished edges? Just rip it. We simply ripped some fabric scraps into strips and dip dyed them to create these soft ombre hues.
Furoshiki: Fabric Gift Wrap
Furoshiki is a traditional type of Japanese gift wrapping that uses cloth fabric. Since we love repurposing and upcycling old fabric, we thought this would be a perfect fit for the holidays. It’s sustainable, reusable and so fun to make.
Yarn Tassel Gift Toppers
The shiny store-bought curly bows? Not recycle-able. Consider dyeing yarn and creating colorful tassels or pompoms.
Fabric Scrap Embroidery Hoop Ornament
An upcycled, re-useable, handmade gift topper…that also doubles as an ornament. We made these with some fabric scraps we had lying around.
Marble Wine Bag
For the hostess with the mostest. Dress up your favorite vino with this no-sew wine bottle bag upcycled from an old tote bag using the marbling method with shaving cream. We know it sounds weird, but the effects are truly marble-ous.
