Newspaper / Magazine Gift Bags
Made these gift bags back in June, a month packed with birthdays. I’ve always liked the idea of creating my own wrapping paper from recycled materials, but when I saw my collection of ribbions & old Anthropologie catalogues, the idea of making gift bags from newspaper and magazine spreads hit me. It doesn’t take too long to create one and the result is quite lovely. Here’s a tutorial »
