Problem 1. I need some paper bags for a craft stall.
Problem 2. The house is becoming over run with magazines
Solution. Make a pot of tea. Spend a happy hour tearing pages out of magazines. Choose pages that go together nicely and stitch together along three sides using an old needle and some cheap thread. Trim off the torn edges to make them neat.
Have fun selecting the right bag for each customer.
Happy bags! I could start a factory with the number of old magazines I an hoarding...
ReplyDeleteFabulous bags! I love this idea and choosing the right bag for each customer would be fun :)

ReplyDeleteThat's all I can say. xo
Love this!
ReplyDeletethank you, they were lots of fun to make, and popular to receive. the lady who got a chocolate cake recipe on her bag was the happiest I think.

Brilliant idea. I use old scrumpled up magazine pages instead of packing peanuts. I always like it when I receive parcels like that.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea. I know what you mean about being over run with magazines.

Very clever and absolutely worth copying if you wouldn't mind. I would be especially happy to get the chocolate cake recipe too. T X
ReplyDeletePure genius T! Love it. Would a sewing machine work or would it rip the paper too much? J x
ReplyDeleteOops. I have just blown your picture up. It looks like mache stitching. Doh. Silly me!
ReplyDeleteI love that. We have a local craft shop that does something similar, but with wallpaper...I think.
ReplyDeleteIt is really effective and I love the personal detail in it.
