Plastic-free protection that gets the job done
Replace bubble wrap with what you already have: towels, washcloths, t-shirts, wool socks, tablecloths. Wrap each item like a burrito, then slide it in vertically. For plates, place a sheet of kraft paper between each one and store them on their edge—they’re more impact-resistant that way.
Fill empty spaces with shredded paper, honeycomb cardboard, or mismatched mittens. At the bottom of the bin, place a folded towel to create a cushion. Finish with another soft layer on top before closing the lid.
- Dishes: vertical, with cardboard or kraft dividers.
- Glasses: socks and kraft paper rolls.
