So easy even this cave woman
Crafts
can do it!
I thought about not even mentioning this, but here goes. I was looking for some red paper to make name tags with. I have every color, but could not find the right shade of red. Then I looked down and saw this!
Yes, I do like to recycle. So I used my punch---speaking of punches---they have some really large ones at Hobby Lobby and I would love to have one!!
You can’t tell they were cut from a Verizon bag and besides the money that I paid for that phone, I should get a bonus out of it!
I will be punching everything now, I feel kind of silly even talking about it.
But if this helps one person, it’s a plus in my book!
and then I ended up posting pictures so these guys could see their name :)
and you’re going to see this table setting about three times
because I blogged about three different things I did for the table setting!
I hope you don’t get tired of seeing it!

ArchiveThese are cute. Like that you used a verizon bag - great to reuse items. I love the large selection of punches available..we have Michaels and Joann's but no HL yet. Always tough to decide which one/s to puchase, though. It is great that the shape you chose can be used for any occasion. Pretty settings.
I am going to Hobby Lobby today to look for those large punches! This is such a great idea to make your own gift tags. And I love how you recycled the bag.
Clever! Love it.
Love it. Great, easy and you are recycling. I I have some bags that will be perfect name tags!
You are so smart- I never get tired of seeing and learning about your projects- cause you are like me- YOU TELL EVERYTHING!!! We would have never known this was a Verizon bag! But sounds so much like something I would do as well! When the mood strikes you- you are ready to "get 'er done"! (And I love the "so easy a cave woman can do it!" Now I am gender sensitive when I hear that saying!)
Thanks for making me smile! (And also that I am way behind on decorating!)
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

What a good idea! It is a wonderful red. I like you place setting and many of the other projects you've posted. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Way to think outside the 'bag' ;) I love that you found the red, instead of running out and buying it!
