Getting extra mileage out of a gift bag

four white chocolate rabbits and four chocolate-coconut egg nests

Do you ever cut up gift bags to use as wrapping paper? Sometimes a gift bag will have a tear in it, but much of the bag is still in good shape and makes nice gift wrap. Other times, I figure I can wrap several smaller gifts with one bag, by cutting the bag into squares and rectangles. That's what I did with one of the cellophane Easter bags -- cut up and wrapped chocolate-coconut egg nest candies. I was able to cut one small cellophane bag into 4 pieces, just enough for the wrap for 4 candies.

For some of my gift bags, I feel they are just too nice to cut up, and prefer to keep them whole to reuse multiple times. But some bags seem more single-purpose, and suited for cutting into gift wrap. For this job, wrapping candies for gifting, I thought the cellophane had a nice, finished look.
