Helloe lovelies!!!!
I'm off to India for a week to attend a family wedding and I am carrying a few gifts for some cousins - and decided to create gift bags!!
Even if you use newspaper, it's really important to choose nice sheets that already have a bit of design or abstract motifs so that all you really have to do is just add to them.
I stapled the sides of the newspapers after folding them up [no time and patience to glue it together]. I drew random designs and painted them in, the results were gorgeous!
This one in particular looked stunning, I felt!
The bag is now filled and ready to be packed into our suitcase :):)
Stacked and set!
I have always liked the idea of personalizing accessories and this is my first attempt at a newspaper gift bag. I loveddddddddd the idea so much that I'm surely going to make a lot of these and keep them in store for future utility!
Did you like the idea? Don't forget to leave me a comment! :)

ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful. And the best part is that they are so eco friendly! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed...my mom still makes paper pouches and takes them to the local grocer..and also sends in steel canisters to the store..i wish i could do that here in the US to avoid plastic packaging..:)
