10 gift ideas from jute bags
10 Christmas gift ideas that give new life to an old jute sack. These gifts are easy to make on a small budget, environmentally friendly and personalized.
1. Jute bags for Christmas gifts : Sew small bags from jute sacks to wrap gifts in. Decorate the bags with paint or fabric ribbons, for example. These can be reused as gift wrap.
2. Table placemats : Cut jute sacks into appropriate sized pieces and sew the edges. Add paint or lace for decoration if desired. These table placemats will add a rustic feel to your Christmas table.
3. Decorative pillow cover : Sew a pillow cover from a jute sack and decorate it with fabric paint, painted patterns, or by sewing on lace. This pillow is especially suitable for decorating a cottage, for example.
4. Wrapping for flower pots : Cut jute sacks into appropriate-sized pieces and wrap them around your houseplant pots. You can tie them with string or ribbon to give your flower pots a warm, Christmassy look.
5. Wreath or decoration with branches : Use burlap as a binding and decorative material for a wreath made of pine or spruce branches, for example. Cut small ribbons or bow-shaped pieces from the burlap for decoration.
6. Christmas stocking sewn from jute fabric : Make Christmas stockings from jute sacks. Cut two stocking-shaped pieces, sew the edges together and decorate the edges with, for example, a red ribbon or a hanging hook.
7. Bottle cover or gift wrap : Jute fabric is great for gift wrapping a bottle. Cut a bag out of the fabric for the bottle, tie a jute string around the neck, and add a small pine cone for decoration.
8. Small storage bag for cosmetics or soaps : Sew a small bag from a jute sack to fit homemade soap, bath salts, or other small bath products. This also works as a gift bag for small cosmetic gifts.
9. Burlap Heart or Star Ornaments : Cut heart or star-shaped pieces of burlap and sew them together, leaving a small space for stuffing. Add a string to hang them, and these ornaments are perfect for both your tree and gift wrapping.
10. Jute bag for shopping or storage : Sew a small bag from a jute sack, perfect for fruit or small purchases. Attach reinforced handles, and the bag is ready to be used as a gift or wrapped as a present.
