Opt for eco-friendly friendship bands for your buddy

This friendship day, opt for an eco-friendly alternative if you are planning to buy a friendship band for your buddy. Here are some great ideas for making eco-friendly friendship bands. Here are a few of my favourites:

Plantable friendship bands: These bands are made with biodegradable paper that is embedded with seeds. When the band is discarded, it can be planted and will grow into a beautiful flower or herb. This is a great way to promote sustainability and create a lasting reminder of your friendship.


Upcycled friendship bands: These bands are made from recycled materials, such as old fabric, ribbons, or t-shirts. This is a great way to reduce waste and create something unique.


Decorated friendship bands: These bands are decorated with beads, charms, or other embellishments. This is a great way to add your own personal touch and make the band even more special.


Here are some additional tips for making eco-friendly friendship bands:

  • Use sustainable materials whenever possible.

  • Avoid using glue or other toxic chemicals.

  • Choose a design that is simple and easy to replicate.

  • Make the bands in small batches so that you don't have any leftover materials.
