Gift Bags from Calendar Pages

[Acadian Driftwood]

Inspired by TheMistressT, I went looking for a method of folding my own gift bags. I watched this video tutorial and got the basic idea. I used clear tape instead of glue and they came together quite easily!



The calendar I used was 'Inuit Art' from Dorset Fine Arts. The bags are varying sizes depending on how big the prints are and how deeply I folded the bottoms.



I cut inserts from a cereal box for some extra stability.



This was a very fun project to watch come together, and I can't wait to use them!

Beautiful! I definitely need to use the cardboard in the bottom idea.

 Those are really cool! They are made from calendar pages, did you say?

Not only do I love the bags, but I love the pictures on them too!

Fun! You both have definitely inspired me! I need to try my own!

That is the coolest idea, what a great way to repurpose amazing calendar art.
