Re-Invent the Gift Bag
It is almost May and everyone knows that means Spring, the start of being outdoors more, and flower bed design. It also is the start of the gift giving season – Easter, Mother’s and Father’s day, graduations, and weddings. Which means it is time for some unique gift bag ideas.
To make giving a gift a bit easier, but still in eye-catching style I have come up with a few gift bag ideas on how you can easily “tweak” a plain gift-bag into something unique that will have the recipient squealing in delight – “for me ?”
You can buy plain white and colored shopping bags in bulk at craft stores like Michaels and AC Moore. They cost under $10 for a stack. I keep a bunch of white ones on hand as I can add anything to them without having to worry about an embellishment matching or not. For most of the gift bag ideas below you will need a hole punch, ribbons, beads, decorative paper, glue, brass fasteners, along with a few odds and ends.
Happy Gift-Giving!
