In conjunction with Takashimaya Goes Green, here are TWO creative ways to reuse your Takashimaya shopping bag!
Creative Ways to Reuse Your Takashimaya Shopping Bag
Using it as a Bouquet Wrapper
Conventional wrappers too cliché for your taste? We show you how to deconstruct our shopping bag, and reuse it as a bouquet wrapper — perfect as a gift for your loved ones!
1. Slice along the edges of your Takashimaya shopping bag with a penknife
2. Overlap the pieces at a thirty degrees angle, and secure them together
3. Wrap around your flowers, securing with a stapler
4. Using a smaller-sized Takashimaya shopping bag, wrap around the front
5. Fasten the stems with a tape, and add a ribbon or a piece of twine to complete the look
