Friday Fun with Stretch Plastic Wrap

Jan 25, 2013

As you probably know by now, us moving insiders are always trying to find new and creative ways to reuse moving supplies. This week, we had some extra stretch plastic wrap and, of course, our imaginations began running wild. In this post, we will share our favorite ideas for reusing stretch plastic wrap!

Idea #1: Prank a coworker: One of our team members is on vacation this week. We wanted to do something nice while he was away, and really welcome him back in style. Our plan? Stretch wrap everything on his desk. Since plastic wrap is great for dust-proofing and protecting your belongings, we knew he’d  appreciate us preserving his important work documents while he was away. Here are some photos of our kind favor:

Take a bit of leftover stretch plastic wrap and give your nails a new look. This post from Nailderella shares the steps to doing your very own textured manicure at home!
