Zero Waste Gift Wrapping

At MINNA we are always looking for fun ways to use our textiles. Once gifting season comes around, we always come back to this tried and true method of wrapping that doubles as an extra gift! Use our tea towels, (or towels for larger items!) napkins or bandanas, for zero waste wrapping that can be reused for years to come. 

All of our textiles are handwoven, made to last, and come in a diversity of colors, which makes them perfect multi-purpose options for gifting! This sustainable alternative to traditional wrapping paper and ribbons is both environmentally friendly, and reusable. 

Learn how to wrap your items in our step-by-step guide below and remember to add this to your DIY Pinterest board so you can come back to it each time.

Pick your favorite MINNA tea towel, napkin or bandana (for larger items, consider one of our lightweight bath towels!) and lay it flat on a hard surface.

Place your gift in the center of the textile.
