I know-I know- the gift giving is over for a bit- but still it's a great time to think about recycling stuff!!!
Ya know all that gift tissue ya stuff into those cute bags- well next time ya want a vintage look, maybe for a homemade gift, try using old sewing pattern tissue.
If you pair that with brown paper gift bag it is a very nice "vintage" look.
Post a picture if ya try it- I haven't taken a picture yet.
Blessings,
Autumn

I had read this someplace and have been looking at the thrift everytime I go for old patterns. But so far haven't found any. But when I do see them I will get them. I think its a real cute idea.

What a brilliant idea, I've got lots of patterns I'll never use. And when you go to the local dollar stores they always wrap glass in really goofy looking tissue paper.

Great Idea, however, I am a SAVER, never know when I'm gonna wish I still -had THAT pattern. I'm sick I know.

Me too, I've even been known to iron used tissue paper to "freshen" it up a bit, lol

That sounds adorable. I try to reuse all my tissue, bags, and wrapping paper until they tear.
