I wish I took a better picture of this cereal box redo/green craft. But, it is what it is! I cut out two circles from a piece of water color paper. Colored them ! I put a little glitter in the center of the purple circle. Cut out a few leaves, colored them, too! I added a little black wire for a handle. The handle was okay, but I cut a few strips of cotton fabric to give it a little something extra. 
I am not sure why I drew the little flowers in the corner. It seemed like a good idea at the time!Now, I think they are distracting.
The back of the bag has a little green leave that can be used as a gift card.I made this bag in a hurry on Saturday. But, as soon as I saw this idea in the magazine I knew I had to make one! The box/bag is really very sturdy. I may never have to buy another gift bag, I can live with that. I have lots of boxes in all kinds of shapes and sizes!
Thanks for visiting!
I think it turned out great! I love it when we can use something we would normally throw away for something useful. Thank you so much for sharing!

I turned out awesome!!! I tore apart a drink bottle holder to make tags and realized I haven't moved my printer or all my craft stuff here yet! I thought I brought enough stuff with me, lol! Oh well, heading home tomorrow for the holiday and will bring it then.
ReplyDeleteI love turning trash into treasures! Whoever receives your gift bag is going to LOVE it!
This is a really cute idea. I love it when you make old things into something new.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed! Looks really cute! As long as I am working and can buy gift bags for a $1 at the Dollar Store, I probably won't be so creative, But when I retire..... :-)
