Upcycle Christmas Wrapping

I hate the idea of things ending up in a landfill when they could have been used for something else. These Christmas wrappers use mailing packages that would be destined for the trash. I will show how I make gift bags using bubble mail envelopes, magazine pictures, and packing tape. 

These are great for me because I like to make jewelry as presents. They keep the jewelry safe and can be personalized. They do not have to be holiday themed because you can make it look anyway you wish. 

In addition to using magazine picture you could use a child’s drawings or family photos.
