- Now you have a little gift bundle
Pocket Wrap:
Create a functional and decorative gift wrap by turning the kitchen towel into a pocket. This idea is excellent for including a smaller item along with the main gift or for tucking in a heartfelt note.
- Place the printed side up of the kitchen towel, and if a directional print, face upside down
- Fold about 1/3 down from top
- With that same piece fold the kitchen towel back up
- Next flip the towel over
- Fold in half lengthwise and tuck into each other
- Place small gift in pocket
- Pin or tie a ribbon to keep secure
Wrap & Tie a Wine Bottle:
Give a classic touch to your gift wrapping by folding the kitchen towel around the gift and securing it with a simple, yet stylish, knot. This method works well for various-sized gifts and allows you to showcase the towel's design.
- Place the kitchen towel design side down horizontal length
- Place the wine bottle in the center about 6 inches away from edge
- Fold kitchen towel over the bottom of the wine bottle
- Fold kitchen towel ends in like wrapping paper
- Bring bottle upright and fold towel around nicely
- Tie with a ribbon to secure
- Add herbs for a nice touch
Rustic Wrap Potted Plant:
Transform a kitchen towel into a rustic-inspired gift wrap for a beautiful potted plant. A kitchen towel is a nice complement for a botanical theme.
- Place the towel design side down
- Use a piece of aluminum foil to act as a buffer for water and dirt and place at center
- Fold corners in
- Fold towel up toward top of pot
- Use clothespins or clips to attach each corner to the pot temporarily

Whether you opt for the simplicity of a wrap and tie or a slightly more intricate folded gift pocket, each method adds a special touch to your presents while also promoting sustainability and creativity.
