Wrap a small sturdy gift in a clean tea towel so the packaging becomes something the recipient can use afterward. Gather a clean tea towel, a small boxed gift, a soft tie, and a tag.
Set it up
Place the towel flat and position the box diagonally, checking that opposite corners can reach comfortably over the top.
Put the idea to work
Fold one pair of corners across the box, gather the remaining corners, and secure them with the separate soft tie.
Finish and keep it useful
Add a tag explaining that the towel is part of the gift and show where to undo the tie. Avoid wrapping fragile unboxed objects this way or carrying the finished package by the gathered towel ends.
What small boxed gift would work with a tea towel the recipient can use afterward?
