Gift paper bags

by Patricia Green
I have way too many decorative paper bags, especially those for wine bottles. Does anyone have any great ideas on what else I can do with these? Put in them? Some of them are beautiful

    You could decoupage some items

    I need a clarification about a response. I get the decopauge thought, but then do what with them? on boards? wall-hangings? I could frame some of them...but way too many! Thanks for responding.

    Patricia Green: You could get a 36x48" or larger 1/8" + thickness of Masonite and decoupage a number of them on it in a design you like. Or make several sizes of them to group on the wall Then hang in your dining room. Or...you could decoupage a table top, side tables, or some serving trays. If you're really brave and are wanting to redo some cabinets, you could decoupage them on for an extra pop of color and design and seal with a coat of verathane. You could make a bunch of refrigerator magnets out of them, or pendant glass jewelry. You could decoupage a room divider. Decoupage a clock with them. :-)

    Could use a lot for Christmas gifts instead of wrapping boxes or buying bags with a Christmas theme. Most everyone is in to repurposing, recycling, reusing.
