Weekend Batch Production of Reusable Fabric Gift Wrap
I would make washable fabric gift-wrap sets in small batches from consistent offcuts for local gift shops and corporate gifting teams.

How the money works
Earn from wholesale or direct sales of finished sets, with custom colour runs priced by scope.
Your edge
I would keep sizes and closure styles consistent while allowing patterns to vary by batch.

- Offcuts can become useful products.
