Auction theme ideas: Recycle that shredding

Sherry Truhlar Leave a Comment

auction theme basket ideas for shreddingAs we ‘wrap up’ the Christmas holidays (get the pun?), I’m betting that you have some extra shredding laying around the house. Gift packages are often shipped in a generous pile of shredding in order to protect the contents inside.

Before you casually toss the packaging material into your local community recycling bin, take a good look at it. Some of the newer types of materials can be used in auction fundraisers.

The video below shows three types of shredding I’ve received and offers ideas on how to use it in your fundraising auction themes and baskets.

(For more help, the resource mentioned in the video is Creative School Auction Themes, Centerpieces, and Décor: Simple-to-sophisticated designs, ideas, & activities that make ANY size auction memorable & profitable.)

Feel free to leave your ideas and comments below.
