Best Place To Buy Paper Bags

If you don’t know already, I am into crafts right now.  More like paper craft.  My all-time favourite is to wrapping presents with brown paper or kraft paper.   There are so much we can do with kraft paper wrappers.  They look great with flower toppers, twines, paper flowers and many more. Just last Christmas, I made paper bags made from kraft papers for my friends’ presents instead of wrapping them with the usual wrapping papers.  I decorated the bags with cut-out initials of my friends’ names from pages of magazines. Then I sealed the bags with  a ‘ribbon on top.  My friends loved the packaging idea.  Are you into paper crafts too?  Well, if you are then you may want to check out PaperMart.com.  This craft supplies store has been in business for over 90 years.   They are the largest discount packaging company in the United States.  Paper Mart has a huge selection of over 10 million boxes and 100 million bags.  At their website, you can find plastic, tubes, cans, jars, metal containers, restaurant supplies, all kinds of paper and many more.  They have a group of highly trained and experienced employees to provide the best service.  So, whether you are looking for paper bags, favor boxes or organza bags for your gift-wrapping or wedding, Paper Mart has them all.

DIY Gift Wrapping

I have been visiting many craft blogs lately and feeling very inspired.  Perhaps I should start a Craft blog and post about the lovely projects which I have seen.  That way, I can always go back to read them and try to do some of the crafts eh?  What I love most are the creative paper packaging for gifts.  There is nothing better than a simple brown kraft paper as gift wrapper.  There is so much you can do to decorate the gift.

Making Your Own Party Packs

My daughter is celebrating her birthday this month and I am in the midst of preparing her party packs.   I really enjoy doing this because I am trying to make some cute party packs for her.  Yeah, I like DIY stuff.  You can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon some really cute paper bags at Shop Sweet Lulu.  They are just perfect for those who like to DIY the packs like me.  My favourite are the cute Dottie bags and sweet Gingham ones.  They also have loads of pretty party decors like balloons, tissue pouf, party flags and more.

DIY Gift Bows

Before I begin to look for diet pills that work, I thought I would share with you this lovely gift bows idea from How About Orange. Everyone knows that I love paper craft.  So when I saw these pretty recycled gift bows made from yellow pages, I was thrilled.   First, cut out 1 inch wide strips from pages of the book.  Then cut a few full-length strips as well as a few strips that are 3″ shorter.  Form the strips into an “eight” shape and tape the ends in the center.  Arrange the longer strips to form a circle and staple it in the middle.   Repeat with the shorter strips and add the single loop to the center using double-sided tape.  For more craft ideas, do visit How About Orange.

D-I-Y Decorations For The Chinese New Year

I have been looking around for ideas on how to make my own decorations for the coming Chinese New Year.    There are so many great ideas out there.  I am left feeling very inspired.  When I came across the Dogwood Flowers paper cutting from Martha Stewart craft blog, I decided to do them using the red envelopes (angpow).    Then I saw another pretty decorating idea – Paper Butterflies.  Just trace the template onto some colourful papers and cut out the shapes.  Attach the butterflies onto the lanterns with tape or glue.  Pretty easy eh?  Now, if you have leftover Christmas Party Invitations, you can use them to cut the butterfly shapes. Christmas Party Invitations are so colourful and vibrant, and they make very pretty paper butterflies.

Have You Taken Some Fruits Today?

After helping my friend to check out the bridesmaid dresses for her coming wedding, I went to look for some wedding favour ideas when I stumbled upon this cute box of pears.  Cute eh?  They are not edible though.  These cute pears are actually memo pads from D-Bros.  I love them.  You can also find memo pads in the shape of apples.  There are 150 sheets in one.  A nice way to add some fun to your work table.

DIY Wedding Decoration Ideas

Diet pills that work fast is what I need to get my hands on now because a good friend of mine who was my schoolmate, will be getting married in May.  I need to lose weight so that I would look good at her wedding.  It will also be some sort of a reunion for some of us as my friend will be inviting many ex-schoolmates to her wedding.  My friend asked me if I could give her any diy ideas on wedding decorations.  I found some cool ideas on ProjectWedding.com and Martha Stewart. Hope she’ll like them and get inspired.
