Before you throw away that cereal bag think about using it for wrapping paper accents!
Today I took stuff right out of my recycle bin and wrapped up a few presents.So I know this concept isn’t new. I too wrapped birthday gifts in comics from the newspaper when I was seven. This is the same concept with some twists.
I took this…
plus some scotch tape, a stapler, and a lighter (you’ll see why in a minute)
and made this…
If you were wondering about that lighter, you need the lighter to singe the edges of the produce bag so it doesn’t fray and make a mess. The plastic diaper bag is the wrapper in those big boxes of diapers (mine is the Walmart store brand).
This is easy and really fun. You can also get more use out that cereal bag before you throw it away! {at least my city won’t recycle those}
You can also give the gift receiver a little start when they think you gave them a box of spaghetti. 🙂 And…it is totally free. I love free.
Happy Wrapping!
