Giving gifts is a joyful way to tell others we love them. We usually wrap the gift with nice paper if we want to give someone a present. But did you realize that most wrapping paper is not recyclable, and bad for the planet? That means when we toss wrapping paper, it can be harmful to the environment. Fortunately, there is a very nice solution to that, brown paper bags!
These bags are unique as they were made from recycled paper. We're repeating this process, which means we're contributing to caring for our planet. Brown paper bags are sturdy and can be reused multiple times, making them an ideal choice for wrapping gifts.
Brown paper bags are great because there is a brown paper bag for every kind of party and event. Want to wrap a birthday gift? These bags are perfect! Bringing a gift to a holiday party? These bags will work great! They are like magic bags that can go anywhere.
You can style these bags in a cute and lovely way. There are many ways for kids and grown-ups to decorate them. Add colorful stickers with sparkles. Doodle with markers. Add a pretty ribbon to tie around the bag. This makes each bag a little different and special, just like the gift!
There is a hip word that describes this process: "upcycling," which means taking something that’s old and turning it into something new and functional. Brown paper bags are upcycling ninjas! Using these bags to gift wrap is doing our part to keep our planet clean. Rather than tossing paper in the bin, we recycle it for a different purpose.
Suppose you took a paper bag that perhaps once held groceries in it, and used that to make it into a stunning gift wrap. Like sending the bag off on a fun-filled adventure! By doing so, we save waste from becoming part of large garbage mounds and help care for the earth.
But gifts are all about showing someone you care. Use brown paper bags for an interesting gift wrap. You can also write a sweet note directly on the bag. Perhaps draw a heart or write “I love you” or “You’re awesome! The recipient of the gift will be so happy when seeing your personal touch.
