Hello and thank you for stopping by! Are your gifts wrapped and waiting under the Christmas tree or are you still shopping and wrapping like a mad woman? If you said yes to the latter, I've got an easy gift wrap solution for you.
Reassess those bags from all the shopping you've doneand turn a blah into a Tada!
Once a plastic sack, now a gift bag! I intentionally made it to look like an evening clutch, cutting the top part of the bag and folding it over (then sealed with tape). It can contain a shawl or shirt for my very good gal pals.
The ribbon "brooch" is fashioned from the handles plus strips from the part that I had cut off. These are held together by staples and more tape.This makes gift packaging faster, more fashionable and you get to recycle, too!
So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.... Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! I especially love the red ribbon made from the bag handles. Many stores put out special Christmas bags- this is a perfect way to re-use them in a stylish way.
ReplyDeleteHi there Lisa and Christine! Glad you enjoyed this idea...hope you can use it for your gift wrapping projects all throughout the year :)
