Traditional gift wrapping creates so much waste and is something we can easily find a sustainable alternative to. A fabric gift bag looks lovely, is reusable many times over and can even become part of the gift. If you can use re-purposed material, even better!
I have put together a short video to demonstrate the easiest bag making solution I have found. I have never been a keen seamstress so wanted to find something that involves the least amount of sewing. For even less sewing you might want to Google furoshiki gift wrapping on You Tube.
Materials Needed
Cloth to fit the size of gift you are giving plus some extra to make the ribbon channels.
Ribbon to measure around the bag twice and extra for the pull ends
Iron
Pins
Scissors
Thread
Chop stick or equivalent
Sewing machine set to straight seam
(Sewing can be done by hand if you do not have a machine)
