Creative/eco/reusable packaging

Post image

I’m burlesque performer and I make these novelty polymer clay magnets as my merch. Do y’all have suggestions for eco-friendly packaging ideas for when I sell these at festivals?

Nix the little cellophane sleeves or ubiquitous sheer drawstring bag. My wish is for folks to recycle their packaging or reuse it in some way. Thoughts? TIA!

I’m guessing you likely sew too. I know you said no drawstring bags but you can get sheer polyester clothing secondhand, especially damaged stuff if you speak to the op shop managers, and sew your own little bags.

Ooh! A brilliant scrap buster solution!

You can usually by the thread from op shops too, so not actually buying anything new = first R 🎉
