plastic Chip bag Gift bag

I really don't like to throw anything away, I recycle some but for things that can't be recycled I try to come up with something to make from it.

I love these gift bags, they are fast to make and have no waste. Try one out when you need a gift bag in a hurry and can't get to the store in time.

This bag saves energy in at least two ways. It saves you not having to drive to the store for a gift bag and it saves energy because then there is at least one less bag being made that would have been bought. If this catches on an many people reuse their chip bags for gift bags, that is saving a lot of energy.

Step 1 The tools and supplies you'll need

Tools:
scissors
hole punch
clear packing tape

Supplies:
chip bag
plastic grocery bag(s)

I like this. The only trouble is I never eat chips. :-) Good going!

Great idea, ticks all the boxes. Although I commend your effort to use other plastic for the handles, may I recommend that you save any ribbon, cords, fabric, etc. to use especially for a female gift as It would really set if off. Not everyone appreciates the re-cycling thing.

Cool beans! My stepdad and grow son are big DIY guys, and they will have fun figuring out the bag after they enjoy the gift.
For a lady it would look nice with the handle bows on the outside too.

OMG!  I love this idea and you for thinking of it. 
I, too, hate to throw into the garbage anything, and try to find ways to reuse anything that cannot be fed to the chickens, recycled, composted, etc.
I am definitely going to start making these!!

I admit to not being dedicated enough to do this, but what a great idea!!!

Thanks, just so you know it only takes about 5 minutes to make one, so if you get desperate for a gift bag you know what to do.
