Repurposed Christmas Gift Bags

 I love to repurpose shopping and gift bags,

but sometimes they have a store name

or damage from bows or tape.

So I decided to use some scraps of wrapping 

paper that I saved and some double sided tape

and work some magic.

 Here I trimmed the edges with a decorative scissors

and cut strips to go along the side of the bag.

 And a wider piece for the front and back.

 I added some ric rac.

 And a Christmas tree cutout from a Christmas card

and ta da!

 Another great use for scraps of wrapping paper

is to layer it over coordinating solid color paper

when wrapping a gift.

Bye for now!
