Upcycled Nativity Art

I love repurposing common things into art. Have you ever noticed that things like gift bags essentially are pieces of art?

When I saw this lovely gift bag at the Dollar Tree, I knew that it would look great in our Christmas decor if I framed it.

You will need:

• A Gift Bag
• A Picture Frame 
• Scissors

Step One

I cut out the image with scissors and then used my rotary cutter to trim it up to a nice, even size.

Step Two

I did not want to have to cut off any of the image so that meant I had to leave the holes where the gift bag handles had been. If I could have gotten by I would have trimmed it up to a smaller size. 

To fix the holes, I glued a small piece of cardstock paper to the back side. I had to fill the hole a little so, I just put a little dab of glue on each hole to make it even with the rest of the bag. 

In order to disguise where the holes had been, I blended a little navy blue paint over them and around some other areas of the sky.

Step Three

​Put it in a frame and you're done!

Merry Christmas to you!
