Here is an easy way to make a green wrapping paper with fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil for when you want to wrap something or give as a gift.
If you’re willing to invest the time to make this, you get a great wrap for a very reasonable cost. The ingredients are easy to gather, and the resulting wrap is nice and strong.
While it’s possible to make your own wrap in an abundance of time, I find that using a store-bought product is the way to go because it’s easy to use and inexpensive enough to get through even a busy holiday season. I have tried making my own wrap, and the results were not good. I didn’t get the basil, garlic, and oil in the exact same proportions I would like to get them.
I would recommend using a store-bought product.
I found making my own wrap to be a bit problematic. I only got the basil, garlic, and oil in the exact same proportions I would like to get them, but when I tried making my own wrap, I ended up getting an onion and lots of butter. There was no way to make the entire recipe in a single bowl. I ended up having to mix the ingredients in several bowls, which just makes it harder to follow and messes up my wraps more than it already was.
If you’re in the mood for something a little bit more organic, you can use paper towel. It’s much easier to keep track of the ingredients and to mix your own wraps, and it’s also cheaper. My grandmother used to buy a roll of paper towels from the dollar store for about $1.50 a roll, and that’s still a lot cheaper than making your own.
Yes, it takes more ingredients to make green wrapping paper. However, there are a few things you can do to make it go further. First, buy a small roll of parchment paper. This is easier than you think. Just take a sheet of parchment paper that is about 8″ x 8″ and cut it in half so you have a smaller 6″ x 6″ rectangle. Then, fold the two pieces in half.
You know what you can do? You can use it as a paper towel. Yes, that sounds gross and gross, but it works. Just lay the paper on a kitchen towel, roll it, and throw it in the wash. You can also do it with a plastic wrap and a paper towel. Just have a plastic wrap and a paper towel, and lay the plastic wrap on top of the paper towel.
The way I like to do this is to fold the two pieces of parchment into a rectangle. I then do the same thing to the two pieces of plastic. I then fold the plastic into a square. I then fold the square into a triangle. I then fold the triangle into a rectangle and a square. I then fold the rectangles into triangles and squares and triangles again.
The process is essentially the same but the result is completely different. You can do it with a plastic wrapper or a paper towel. The important thing to note is that it’s more fun to do than to do. The whole point is that the wrapping paper is more fun to lay on the wet surface and not the dry surface.
