Omg!!! My daughter just cleaned her room and brought down what must've been 20 clothing/ shoe store paper bags. She told me she thought I could use them. Well yeah!!! Let's make envelopes!! Take 5 bags with the best graphics or designs & see what you can come up with. Make the envelopes sendable sized please.

Great idea. Just lay them out flat and cut! May have to iron them out if small bag.

Do y'all think 5 envies might be too many? Let me know what you think. It was suggested maybe less might be better...

Haha! Mz. Is andie guess you found some bags!!! Thanks for joining!!

@Scrappermama I think 5 is good...but I'm ok with less if it means more people will join ;) I actually have enough for more LOL! But I'm easy!

@ladydy5 thanks for the ironing tip! I did that last night! I did find that a couple of my bags had a plastic coating that bubbled under the iron LOL! but I kind of like the effect! :)

This is such a great idea!!! Too bad all the stores I go to they keep giving me plastic. I will keep this idea for future envelope ideas if i ever get any. :-)
