Last week I sold some of thumbtacks on Etsy, and realized I was out of bubble mailers. I usually save any that come in the mail to reuse , or grab them from a neighbor who seems to always have a supply coming in. I googled how to make my own and found a bunch of tutorials. I decided to combine a few and came up with this. It's made from a paper grocery bag and ran through the sewing machine. I wrapped the thumbtacks in bubble wrap instead of lining the envelope, so I was able to use the scraps I had. I'm so excited about these, they are so easy. Now I've got a pile on my table ready for the next order.

Wow, this is so cool!!!

I have a ton of bubble mailers, if you ever need them. They aren't recycled, but I can certainly spare some.

Of course, mine don't look as completely *awesome* as this, but, y'know....
