Our first product

Reusable fabric gift wrapping 100% recycable, 100% reusable
Love Project Workshop fabric gift wrapping (R35-R45) Made from:recycled fabric remnants, ribbon and buttons. It is our first craft project and it will be available at the Love Project Gift Shop (55 Kloof street, Cape town) Here is how you do it: Wrap the gift with the fabric, secure it with the ribbon, pin the pretty button to the fabric and attach the card to it. Afterwards: - Reuse the fabric as a pretty tea cloth. A cleaning or drying cloth will also do! - Reuse the ribbon for scrapbooking projects, use it to tie your daughter’s hair or twist it a few times around a bunch of flowers. - Reuse the button as a fashionable brooch. - Reuse the gift card by securing a new piece of cardboard and message to the back.
