Then, as I was perusing the store, I spotted these roses and I fell in love with the color and had to get them. It was only after I brought them home did I really figure out my neat way of incorporating them (I inserted green floral water tubey things into the handle of the wine box). As for the stemless wine glasses (which were boxed up) I wanted the "wrapping" to match my box-o-wine so I scrounged around and found an old Trader Joe's grocery bag which read "PLEASE RECYCLE THIS BAG" and I said "Okay, I will do you one better and REUSE it first, then recycle it." Don't you like the illustrations on the bag? I cut out a fork to use in a future project and may specifically return to Trader Joe's just for more bags (I guess I should pick up some macarons while I'm there). So, I wrapped the box for the most part but wanted to use the handle because I thought it was a neat feature, and I left the top open and it looked like a bag. I filled it with recycled crinkle paper to finish the look. Overall, I was happy with the design.
