What would Grandma do? Recycle ribbons
Recycling ribbons and wrapping paper was a common-place practice in my household growing up – anything deemed salvageable would be carefully folded and packed away in the cupboard for use again.
But I’ve taken the recycling thing to a new level recently, by squirreling away the ribbons from the bags of one of my favourite brands, COS. They’ve always got such lovely grosgrain ribbon handles in a variety of colours. I just tear off the handles and pack them away in my ribbon box.
Here they are adding a simple and chic touch to brown paper parcels:
TOTAL SPENT: £0
COST OF NEW STRIPED GROSGRAIN RIBBON: £2.77/metre
SAVINGS OVER A YEAR: £16.62
