Using your Primark bag as Christmas wrapping paper

I was blown away when I saw the price of wrapping paper this year. I know we are in a cost of living crisis, but somehow I didn't realise that even wrapping paper would go up! Primark already have a fabulous range of more affordable wrap, but they have gone one step further this year and turned their bags into wrap too! You can actually use their paper bags to create your very own Primark Christmas wrapping paper.

The usual brown paper Primark bags have had an Xmas revamp and they have added diagonal red stripes. The candy cane inspired design is actually designed to look like wrapping paper.

If your Primark bag has split then don't panic! Mine was looking a little worse for wear when I brought it home. You just need to open the bag up by cutting the sides. You then have to cut along the lines to get rid of the handle and bottom of the bag and voila! 

And Voila! Your Primark bag is now Xmas wrap!

I collect ribbon all year round, so I already had some big red ribbon which went perfectly with the Primark design! I just added some extra decorations and it is ready to be received! 

Watch the transformation:

I am worried about the cost of Christmas

Don't worry, you aren't alone. So many millions of people are in the same situation this year. I have decided to shop mainly second hand this year and it has really helped us cut costs. I have found small changes have really helped make all the difference.
