Paper or Plastic

Well, actually at Trader Joes, they only offer paper. We usually bring our HARVEYS Canvas totes but on our last visit we forgot, and noticed that they had a great craft project printed right on the bag.
Our girls love craft projects so we handed them each a pair of safety scissors and a glue stick.
And here's what they came up with
Great job Trader Joes, this is a great way to Up-cycle. Don't you think this would be a cute idea for shopping bags at HARVEYS stores. Maybe next year.

Aren't they great. The gift tags on one side are cute too!I used the gift tags with my students and each student mounted one onto some green construction paper for a part of their gift to their parents! Yay for free and upcycle! Merry Christmas to all the Harvey's

MERRY CHRISTMAS Harveys Family <3

I loved their bags. I wrapped ALL my gifts in their bags this year. Used the tags as well. The "garland" I turned into bows. I wish I had taken a picture now.

I used those gift tags for my gifts under the tree this year! They actually looked really great! It was a great idea. I just went back to Trader Joes to get more bags, and I am saving them for next year!
