Eco Craft : Gift bag made out of Newspaper

Helloe lovelies!!!!
I'm off to India for a week to attend a family wedding and I am carrying a few gifts for some cousins - and decided to create gift bags!!

Even if you use newspaper, it's really important to choose nice sheets that already have a bit of design or abstract motifs so that all you really have to do is just add to them.

I stapled the sides of the newspapers after folding them up [no time and patience to glue it together]. I drew random designs and painted them in, the results were gorgeous!



This one in particular looked stunning, I felt!




The bag is now filled and ready to be packed into our suitcase :):)

Stacked and set!


I have always liked the idea of personalizing accessories and this is my first attempt at a newspaper gift bag. I loveddddddddd the idea so much that I'm surely going to make a lot of these and keep them in store for future utility!

Did you like the idea? Don't forget to leave me a comment! :)
