Mom wraps her son's schoolbooks in Checkers Sixty60 bags
This is what we call higher-grade repurposing...
We've seen several parents getting savvy with their back-to-school buying this year.
With the cost of things consistently rising, some parents have chosen to take the DIY route with things like wrapping paper, because we all know as their grades increase, so does the number of books.
A mom has gone viral for her ingenious recycled wrapping paper.
Mom TikToker, Lebang Kgosang, usually posts videos surrounding parenting and this time she got a whopping 6.1-million views on her back-to-school hack.
She realised that she had an abundance of online shopping bags and decided that these could be great for repurposing. So, she decided she would use them to cover her son's schoolbooks.
Of all the bags, she opted for the Checkers Sixty60 bags because they felt strong and durable. To her surprise, they were the perfect size for the A4 books.
