Since our city adopted a ban on the use of plastics in establishments like groceries, stores restaurants, I have been collecting the paper bags that are used as packaging for the stuff we buy.

Crafty Gift Wrap
Just sharing with you this little craft project I did last week: DIY wrapping paper that I used to wrap some birthday gifts. I used a pattern paper as the 'wrapping paper', which I got from National Bookstore (only P19.75 for 5 sheets).
