Let's Recycle!

Mini Sticker Folders made from shopping bags!

So I was supposed to be folding washing but I got distracted 😳 and decided to make mini sticker folders for the kids who visit my stall! 

I sell cheap stickers so the kids can have a shopping experience without breaking the bank of mum or dad. There's not much one can buy for 50 cents anymore so it's a nice touch to see those cute smiles and their sense of accomplishment when they buy a sticker. To make it even more special I like to put them in an envelope or similar to complete the whole shopping experience. 

So where does the recycle part come in?

Sometimes I get caught out at the supermarket and end up having to  buy a Woolworths paper shopping bag. Let's  face it, I probably wouldn't use it again. 🀫

πŸ’‘And then suddenly  I had the random idea to re-use it at my stall!

I cut up the bag into smaller rectangles to make the mini folders.

Look how many mini folders I made with just one bag! ❤️

They're a hit with my mini shoppers and their parents and carers alike. There's just something satisfying knowing that you're recycling.

And don't you think side quests are so much more fun than housework?! 😁
