Dear Self-Makers,
It happens quite often that one starts writing on a sheet of paper, makes a mistake, and throws the whole piece of paper away as a consequence despite the fact that there is still a great deal of blank space on it. If one simply cuts off the part with the text on it, it is possible to make small pieces of paper out of the rest which can be used to note one’s shopping list for example. This way, it is no longer necessary to buy notepads.
A similar procedure works for gift wrap paper: If one is very careful when unwrapping his or her presents, the paper can be reused. This is a convenient method, especially if the present was a book or something else with a straight form. Furthermore, it is an easy and sometimes funny solution to put presents in plain designed shoe boxes or in cookie jars. These containers also prevent the presentee from guessing the present by feeling it.
Shops which are famous for offering lovely presents often invest in fancy shopping bags. It is a shame that one only uses them to carry home the purchase! Unfortunately, the material’s quality often does not permit using the shopping bag as a real bag. Still plastic bags might be used to store things or as a container for rubbish. Considering the fancy design of some shopping bags, there are even more possibilities for reusing them! Some of them could easily be taken as posters, especially if the owner links something with them. One of us even had the idea to use a shopping bag as a shelf!
Why don’t you have a look at the presentation and then
YOU TRY!
Yours,
the Creative Minds!
