More Gift Bag DIY

Back in February, I posted a DIY about decorating old gift bags using recycled Valentine and Christmas cards. The gift bags shown here use merchandise bags I have collected for months.

Simply cover up the name of the shop or business with colorful tape. I used a black and white checkerboard "Duck" brand tape which comes in many fun patterns and colors. Another brand is "Frog" tape.

You can tell from the big red star what store the white bag came from. Now the name of the store is covered up and the gift bag is ready for gift giving. Some pretty red tissue paper, a tassel or gift tag and it is ready to go.

 This is just another opportunity to re-use, re-cycle and keep the earth a little greener.
