My Creation:

I've been busy making gift bags as I've got a couple of craft sales coming up and I want to be able to package my items 'milomade style' - so you've guessed it, they're all made from recycled materials. This time, pages from magazines, but I'm also about to make some from wrapping paper I saved from birthday presents.

They take no time to make and after the first few you get the hang of it. Based on an origami pattern which I then adapted.

You can see my first ever video tutorial [yes I'm now ofiicially a YouTuber] on my blog:

So much nicer to have handmade things in handmade bags! I made some Christmas ones years ago, they sold well at a craft fayre.
