Bubble Wrap is a very integral part of our business, but it's such a shame to see it go to waste. We've teamed up with Maggy Woodley from Red Ted Art, an award winning Arts and Crafts Blog, to give us some ideas of what to do with it once we finish using it for packing. That's if we can refrain from popping it first.
Oh bubble wrap! It is so much more than for packing & shipping breakable things. The popping the ‘bubbles’ alone is fun and entertaining. That’s just the beginning, though, there are so many other ways to recycle bubble wrap that kids will enjoy like bubble wrap crafts. Have you crafted with Bubble Wrap before?
