The Kings are coming! Yes, yes, tomorrow is the big day! What nerves, what excitement! And what a waste of paper, bows, and other decorations to wrap gifts, right? In the end they all end up in the trash and, let's face it... we may not even put them in the corresponding container. However, it is possible to enjoy this Three Kings Day to the fullest and be responsible at the same time, if we choose, for example, to reuse other materials instead of going to the store and buying rolls and rolls of paper and colored ribbons. . The important thing is the detail! And the most valuable thing is inside the package and in the hands that deliver that gift. DIY-for-gift-wrapping In today's post we bring several very easy DIY ideas for you to put into practice now. Stick with the ones you like the most and do them together! Wrappers in the shape of a heart, star, circle or any other shape you can think of To do this you only need a pencil, scissors, glue and a large envelope that you have received. With the pencil you paint on top of the envelope the outline of the silhouette you have chosen. Next you cut it with scissors. Then you put the gift inside and finish by gluing the edges with glue.
As simple as that! Cardboard boxes containing very special gifts Cereal or cookie boxes are perfect for a Christmas craft. We just have to carefully peel off each side, turn it over and glue it again.

Reuse to delight in the nature of the planet That we propose to start a DIY to wrap your gifts is not a whim. Marco Lambertini, general director of WWF international , tells us that “nature is the basis of our well-being and prosperity, but we are abusing the Earth's limited resources” and that “if we want to build a future for our children, we must conserve the natural capital that we have left, and sustainably manage the resources of this, our only place, the planet.” From WWF they tell us that consumption levels are so high that with the current trend we need one and a half planets to supply our consumption needs, so if we continue at this pace in 2050 three planets will be necessary. What's going on? And no matter how much we deceive ourselves, natural resources are limited. But we still have time to reduce our ecological footprint and stop abusing the planet by opting for sustainable consumption of these natural goods. Even if it's on a small scale. Changing our consumption habits is much simpler than we think. For example, we can choose fish and seafood with the blue eco-label of MSC , Marine Stewardship Council , and wood products that are certified with the FSC , Forest Stewardship Council logo , which tells us that we are purchasing sustainable fish. certified and products whose origin is found in well-managed forests that guarantee environmental and social benefits, and not only economic ones.
