1. Rope and kraft paper: minimalism and respect for the environment

Mainly, the idea is to replace the usual materials with two other alternatives:

• Kraft paper, instead of wrapping paper;
• Raffia tape instead of fabric tape.

Thus, for a rustic effect, it is important to choose natural kraft paper and combine it with elements from nature. For example: dried pine cones. There is also the possibility of using recycled k raft paper as a sign of respect for the environment. Especially if your e-commerce sells organic products or has a strong environmental awareness, this is the ideal option for you.

2. Lace cones for small details

Also kraft paper, combined with white lace. So you can create these original cones for small gifts or bulk details, such as sweets, nuts or for example chocolates.

As of now, simply cut out squares of kraft paper and roll them up, integrating strips of lace, until you create the corne. To ensure that the contents do not spill and that the cone does not crumble, you can apply a double-sided adhesive to close the cone, as well as slightly bending the tip.

3. Handmade paper flowers for an original touch

Sometimes a detail is enough to generate a smile and when it comes to wrapping gifts creatively, this is reflected in the inclusion of a small element that captures the attention of the other side. Instead of the usual bow or ribbon star, why not try a handmade paper flower?

The good thing about paper flowers is that you can make them as simple or as complicated as you wish. Plus, if you set a specific flower template, they will define the personality of your e-commerce.
