Recycled Craft Fridays

There are so many things you can do with trash besides throw it away. Each Friday I am going post a craft or activity that takes trash and makes it useful again. This Friday we are making paper bag note cards. All you will need is:


A paper Bag from the grocery store

glue stick

white paper

decoration supplies (paint, glitter, etc.)


Step 1: Cut your paper bag into pieces measuring the size card you want to make. My pieces measured 9" x 6".2.Next fold each piece in half creating a card.



3. You will then need to cut white paper (this can be used paper from the office, junk mail, etc) slightly smaller than the paper bag size and glue using a glue stick to the inside of your paper bag card. My white paper measures 8.75"x5.75"


Once Dry the next step is to decorate the outside any way you would like. Make it into a birthday card or personalized stationery by monogramming it with your initials.

If you have a project idea or tutorial you created that incoprated recycyled materials please e-mail citybeautificationtville@gmail.com. We would love to feature local crafters on our blog.
