Recycled Magazine Page Favor Pouches

 
Happy Friday! I hope that you have had fun this week reading about the origami folded recycled grocery bag pouches and newspaper pouches you can make from virtually anything you can find around the house. I have one more idea to share with you, my blog friends.

These pouches were made in similar fashion but with pretty recycled magazine pages.

 
These pages are from Better Homes and Gardens. I used this magazine because they are usually full of beautiful photographs.

Start by cutting the magazine page to a 7" square, using a paper trimmer. 7" was the largest complete sqaure I was able to get from these torn pages. If you are using a magazine that has a larger format, you can probably get an 8" or 9" sqaure which results in a larger bag.

Follow the step by steps as shown in the pictures below. If you need a more detailed description, it may help to refer to the earlier posts by clicking here.

 
 
 
 
 
Now, the fun part is here. I chose to line the top edge with black tissue paper. I cut it into a 1" x 5" strip and wrapped it around the top edge in the following manner...

 
 
 
I used scalloped edged scissors to cut off the top portion of the bag, making a scalloped edged top.

 
Finally, pretty german die cuts, tiny block letter stickers and stamped cardstock circles make this a quick, unique inexpensive favor for my bunco group, which is coming next week.

What?! You took a simple magazine page and made it look like this? It is way beyond charming! It's the embellishing you did that makes it so dang cute! How creative!
