DIY: Recycled New Year's Garland

Turn your old Christmas gift bags into a New Year's garland!

Gather a few different colored bags. I used metallic gold and silver. Used wrapping paper is a good option as well. 

Using a circle punch, punch as many circles as you can get out of each bag.

Use tape or glue to sandwich the thread between two circles and alternate the colors. That's it!
