Okay, I am neither a good saver nor a good quilter. But, for some reason I saved a whole bunch of Dunn Bros coffee bags. And, for some reason, I had to try the technique challenge this week and I just had to make my own paper out of these old Dunn Bros bags! So, this was collage-y enough for Julia's Ways to Use it Challege too, I thought....I cut the coffee bags up and adhered them onto a 12 x 12 piece of paper, then zigzag stitched them onto it. Then I took the template and traced around this new paper at an angle, cut it out and put it together. Thanks for the idea and template from stampztoomuch: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
and thanks to Toy and this week's technique challenge My children made these too and we had a blast! They are easy and fun....More easy if you just use regular paper or cardstock without having to stitch up your own paper

What a unique take on the collage idea--this is super!! Love how you stitched together the coffee bags. That tote is adorable!! Great gift bag for a coffee lover
