Blooming Recycled Paper Gift Bags

These easy to make and unique gift bags are great for wedding favors or to hold bird seed or rice to hurl at the happy couple (Don't worry about little bird stomachs exploding with rice, its an urban myth).  And after they have done their job of holding whatever you decide to place in them, you can plant the paper in the ground and watch beautiful wildflowers grow.
