I hate that some snacks come in packages that are garbage forever, and although I try and buy them as little as possible, a future with no chips or candy bar seems impossible! I try and buy chocolate chips from the bulk food store, but some of the varieties are not available or a good alternative, so I end up with bags that a normal person would throw away. I wash them and save them to use them to separate items for food storage, and, on this occasion, to make a Christmas craft.
What I did learn is that the white inside shows the outside, so I wouldn't recommend chipits bags if I did it again, but the silver lining was very pretty. The trick is to cut a straight line, which I did not do that carefully, and sometimes regretted. But the end effect was very pleasing and I look forward to decorating with it next year!
Glue the end and basket weave to a guide in the shape of your choosing. Trim.
