Today we conclude "Project: recycling paper bags".
These handles were elevated from blah to...
TADA!: a rope and chain arm accessory!
Instead of just tossing the bag away, let's make
one that's more present-able.
Cut out the labels on the bag to create windows.
We'll cover the windows of the bag with plastic rescued
from a cleaned-out food container.
Cut the plastic to size
{a little bigger than the windows}.
Attach the plastic to cover the windows
using clear tape in the inside of the bag.
Fashion new handles with ribbon or fabric. I'm using wire
I saved from a Chinese take-out box dressed up
with colorful wooden beads.
Tuck in a little gift {the windows give the recipient a
hint of what's inside}.
Or wrap the gift in tissue for an air of mystery. TADA!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
