You’d be surprised with the multiple uses of cotton muslin bags in the kitchen whether it be for storing or cooking food.

Our cotton muslin bags also help out cooking in the kitchen! Stuff one of our smaller bags with tea leaves, herbs and spices to use them as reusable tea bags, and in the same vein, fill a bag with seasonings when making soup with herbs that need to be removed before eating.

With all these methods, cleaning is simple. You can hand-wash them with a mild soap, or if you’re short on time throw them in the washing machine! It makes your life easier all the while promoting reuse and recycling.

Here are a few ideas to add a personal touch to your wedding:

• The grab bag. Stock a larger cotton muslin drawstring bag with items that are unique to you as a couple. This could be snacks from your favorite local shop, a map of the area or coupons to your favorite restaurant in town.

• S’mores kit. This is ideal for fall weddings, when the weather calls for a night by the fire. Assemble personal sized s’mores kits complete with marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.
• Coffee beans. If you love grabbing a cup of coffee with your significant other, coffee beans as a favor may be the ideal way to share your personality while giving guests something they’ll really enjoy.
