Why I iron brown paper bags

Whether you like wine, whiskey, or tequila, when you purchase a bottle the liquor store puts the bottles in these long brown bottle bags. I save them and some times ask for an extra couple when at the wine store until I have enough for a project. (ok dont judge me,LOL)
Then I cut the rough end top off
Then measure and cut to 11 inches.
 The left over bottom gusset becomes an awesome start for a journal pocket.
I then open the side of the bag and trim to 8.5 inches. Again there is a left over piece that is great for mini notebooks or backs of journal cards.
I then iron the 11 x 8.5 sheet as flat as possible (see 1st photo)
And the hardest part is trying to decide what to print on these bags....Yes I put them through the printer and the results are lovely grungy papers perfect for journals and collage. Another tip: I use these papers to stamp off my ink stamps and that can also result in grungy paper that can be cut up in a million different ways for projects. Happy creating!
