#TheWastedSwap Weekly Inspiration
With one week left to mail our #thewastedswap totes or pouches I thought it would be a great idea to share a few fun things that you might consider adding to your package. Of course, you are not required to send any extras! They're just for fun. Given that the goal of this swap was just one way we can encourage other seamstress/crafters to look beyond conventional materials to create- reuse, repurpose, and rethink the way we consume it almost seems counter productive to add a bunch of frills?! Worry no more. Here are ___ small DIY projects, giftables, or eco-friendly notions you could possibly include in any sewing swap package to help it be a little more "green"
 |
| Seed Bombs/ Etsy |
eco-friendly small gifts/ locally made goods
garden seeds or flower bombs
reusable cup
unpaper towels
hand crafted soap
scrap bundles or buttons
 |
| Ruler Bracelets/ TrashN2Tees |
bath salt/scrub
essential oils
pin cushion
t-shirt yarn or plyarn

While I love the seed idea, in Australia and New Zealand these are a no no as we have strict quarantine laws and the parcel may be held up at the border.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can totally understand and respect why such measures would be needed. Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention here. For anyone who needs additional information http://www.victoryseeds.com/au-allowed.html
