Step 1: Not Too Girly Version

Finished with Map Lines.JPG
This is an example of what a map, duct tape and paper clips can look like as a gift bag. Try using the covers of Cabela's catalogue, Guns and Ammo, Field and Stream, etc. to make gift bags look a little more masculine.

Anyway - let's get started!

Really clever idea! Can't believe I never thought of this before?! I'll be saving my pennies and pounds on having to buy gift bags again!

Pack trail mix in it and take it hiking with you. When you are finished with it, use it for a carry-out-of-the-woods trash bag. You can reuse a cereal bag for packing trail mix and as a trash bag at the conclusion of your hike or walk. Also us for snack storage, to pack away frozen food or as a replacement of wax paper. http://blog.greenlivingeveryday.com/2011/11/05/Way

This is a fantastic idea, recycling is the way forward and it's amazing at what can be done now which saves us all a lot of money.

LOVE IT!!!! I will definently use this one! I think I'll use a plastic bag for the tissue paper though, makes it a little more green...
