Holi-DAZE
Notice the colorful, natural leaves scattered through this handmade paper. Wonderful!
Soapers are well into thinking holi-daze, and I do mean daze! In the midst of fall festivals, we’re frantically trying to think about gift packaging (gotta be new and sparkly) and whether we have enough of that favorite soap to last through the end of the year (probably not).
This fall’s gift packaging takes advantage of my spring Thailand trip with some handmade mulberry paper bags, ribbon and tissue. They’re gorgeous! They have natural leaves and colorful bits scattered through them…really spectacular in person. The only downside is the paper will absorb moisture (no plastic in these babies) and can get beat up if you use it for display for months at every farmers’ market like I have.
I also found some perfect clear acetate boxes and pretty bags which are new and different. Oh, and some gorgeous sheer ribbon that doesn’t hide the soaps. So the last couple weeks I’ve been wrapping as well as soaping, but am not near to being ready for gift season. I hope you think these are as pretty as I do.
