Earth Day Challenge At Glue Dots

Hi there Glue Dots Fans!  It's time for another challenge.  I chose to create something
for Earth Day coming up in April.  I made a cute little gift bag using mostly items
that had been recycled.  I always love a fun project!  Here are the supplies
that I used for this project:  A cereal box made from 100% recycled cardboard, left-over
scraps from previous projects (My Mind's Eye), a gift bag (Target), scissors (Fiskars),
 flowers (Krafter's Korner), a scrap of tulle (Wal-Mart), sentiment (DCWV)
and Glue Dots® Mini Dot n Go Adhesive.


Step 1. I filled my bag with left-over packing material from a gift I received to make it look
            like it was filled, wink!  Really, you could fill it with candy or any other cute gift to
            give to someone special! 
        2. Then, I covered a piece of chipboard made from the cereal box with scrap paper
            using Glue Dots® Mini Dot n Go adhesive.
        3. I took a piece of adorable green tulle and tied a bow around the bag.
        4. Oh, and I could not resist placing these cute flowers on my bag, too.  Glue Dots
            Mini Dot n Go adhesive worked wonderfully for adhering the flowers to the bag 
            and also for sealing my little bag in the back.
                

Viola, you have an quick and easy gift bag that is eco-friendly!
What a great way to tell someone you care while caring about our beautiful
earth.  As always, I have left over supplies so I know I will be making more....
I hope that you will, too!

I wrote this blog post while participating on the Glue Dots® design team.

Happy Crafting.
