Reusable Shopping Bags As Gift Wrap


Do you remember these Christmas reusable shopping bags that I made recently?


Here they are holding gifts to my brother-in-law and his family.  I tied some nice bows around them to keep them closed.  I love that they are both the packaging and presents all in one.  I'm sure that my sister-in-law will love them.

  4. Yes and no. I made up the pattern. My bags are a spin off of a friend's bags. I have 3 videos from my show that she was on where she showed how to make her bags. http://textiles4you.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-easy-being-green-episode-5-reusable.html
    Here is my blog tutorial on how to make these bags: http://textiles4you.blogspot.com/2010/06/patriotic-shopping-bag.html

  6. Pamela, so true. I currently have some flag bags and some fruit bags (for the summer). I love themed fabric and this is a great way to use that fabric.

  7. Hi,

    This is really interesting take on the concept.I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think it will be a great use of new ideas and information.
