RECYCLING PAPER/PLASTIC BAGS INTO GIFT CARRIERS

Materials:

stiff-backed paper/plastic bags with handles
bits and pieces of paper (old cards, recycled wrappers, coloured papers, etc)
cellophane tape/glue


Method:
1. Choose a colour scheme to either complement or clash with the colour of the bag
2. Select papers or other materials of that colour for use
3. Cut them according to the way you wish to lay out the materials on the paper bag
4. Stick the materials onto the bag (front and back) according to your design, using either glue or cellophane tape. Cellophane tape is recommended as glue may not be sufficient to hold the materials onto the bag.

Possible uses:
1. to be used as carrier bags for gifts
2. to be used as all purpose bags (depending on the toughness of the material) to carry light objects
