Simply Shoeboxes: Waiting for Upcycling for Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gifts

Waiting for Upcycling for Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gifts

Brightly colored gift bags waiting for upcycling into gifts for shoeboxes. Images of one of the finished products, a Paper Pocket, and a link to instructions are below. Many of the children around the world who receive shoeboxes full of gifts from Operation Christmas Child desperately need paper and pencils and other school supplies--it is often one of their favorite gifts. I thought repurposing gift bags to hold the paper would brighten their lives a little.
