    Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

    Personally I don't like wrapping gifts, it always ends up that my packages under the tree are the most disastrous of all. But one of the things I like to do is the rosettes to be placed on top. So this year instead of buying the usual colored ribbons and various Christmas decorations, I decided to make them myself by reusing food packaging waste.





    What is needed? Empty bags of potato chips, of candies or biscuits the important thing that we have inside the coating in aluminum. So get yourself scissors, Scotch tape transparent or one stapler and you'll be ready to follow the instructions to make these sparkly rosettes yourself, recycling old empty food bags.

    Instructions

    • 1) Step After you have obtained the basic material, a bag of potato chips for example, cut it into strips horizontally, there must be at least 7 or in any case an odd number. Now roll up all the strips into small circles.
