If you’re looking for creative ways to reduce your environmental impact this Christmas whilst still maintaining a beautifully styled Christmas space, then these botanically and naturally dyed pieces of fabric wrapping paper are the answer…
The inspiration behind our fabric wrapping paper...
Did you know that every Christmas in Australia alone, we throw out enough wrapping paper to go around the world 4 times? We don’t know about you, but the sheer amount of waste from one item alone is simply mind boggling and we want to do all we can to turn that statistic around. Not only are 30 million trees cut down to facilitate the mass production of wrapping paper, but because of the physical properties of the paper, most of it is unable to be recycled! One of our solutions to this problem is to provide our customers with a sustainable and ethical option – reusable, zero waste fabric wrapping paper that is made with 100% recycled and natural materials. Not only will these beautiful pieces of fabric wrapping paper save you money but you’ll also feel wonderful knowing that you’ve done your part to reduce waste during Christmas…
Our fabric wrapping paper - The story behind the art...
Our dream is to inspire others to lead sustainable and ethical lifestyles whilst showcasing that it can still be beautiful and luxurious. Taking care of the planet should be enjoyable, rewarding and practical and so that is why our unique items are created with a difference. We also want to encourage you to help others around you begin their green journey so while passing one of these sustainably and ethically crafted pieces of Fabric Wrapping Paper along with a gift, make sure you also share the story of how and why they have been created…
Wondering how our fabric wrapping paper is created?
There are many steps involved in the creation of our stunning and colourful pieces of fabric wrapping paper and the first thing we have to do is head out of our rainforest workshop and explore the second hand shops within the Brisbane community. How is this relevant to our Fabric Wrapping Paper you ask? Well, it’s because we utilise 100% recycled fabric in each piece so we firstly need to source white pieces of fabric that are no longer being used. We gather a small collection from a variety of local op shops and the fabric is usually in the form of tablecloths, seconds from factories, curtains and other household textiles.
Once we’ve taken the fabric back to our workshop, we first wash each piece in rain water and environmentally friendly washing liquid and then hang them out in the sun to dry. While they’re blowing in the breeze, we get to work to create our botanical dyes from natural ingredients such as onion skins, beetroot, blueberries, avocado seeds and coffee grinds that we have sourced from our local fruit shops and cafes. We do this because its waste that they’re going to throw out anyway and we believe that every resource should be used to its maximum potential before it is disposed, composted or recycled.
The dyes usually take around 2-3 hours to create as the natural ingredients take a little while to leech their colour into the boiling water. Once this step is complete, we then cut our pieces of fabric to the appropriate sizes and then leave to soak in the dyes for an average of 12 hours. After the dyeing process is finished, we then hang the fabric back outside to dry until they are ready to be sewed, hemmed and folded. Each piece is hand sewed to ensure that our sustainable and ethical process is followed and once each piece of Fabric Wrapping Paper is complete, we then store them inside our little forest studio until an order is placed.
