I had saved this William Sonoma bag from a purchase since its form factor was so unique.
Slender, tall - perfect for a wine bottle. I also tend to save things and want to refurbish it and never get around to it ;) Also known as pack rat behavior. So this challenge was the perfect motivator. So with the color combo poster, I went to town. Thanks, Embellish!
Here's an up-close look of the bag's label. Don't you love Waltzingmouse Stamps Rescue Remedies? The "Syrup of Kindness" makes the perfect label for a wine bottle.
The wine gift bag would make a good hostess gift and not so much of a host ;) Do you have examples on how to revamp your purchase bags into gift bags? If so, let's see 'em. Send your example to scrappinpsycho@live.com and we will post it here. Or, do you have a frugal tip to share - email a picture and a description, you could be featured as a future Frugal Friday Tip.
what a great idea! thanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I love it! I've reused gift bags from my kids bday parties before but I've never thought about re-cycling paper bags into gift bags, I am totally doing this. Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea...frugal yet something that anyone would love to get their gift inside of!
ReplyDeleteGreat reuse of the bag! I love saving things to reuse as well. Love your colors and that stamped label.
ReplyDeleteEveryone - thanks for your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteSarah Cooper, down_memory_lane - the frugal-tastic way would be to share your stamp set w/ a local crafter and make sure to order enough to get free ship ;)
