Create easy gift bags from lunch bagsYou will need:-Lunch brown bags-Scissors/decorative edge-glue-hole punch-paper; washi tape-gift tag blanks-stickers-ribbons(Ribbon/black and white stickers/gift tag from The Paper Source)

Choosing a Theme

• Before you begin gluing and cutting, gather around your supplies and choose your theme. Whether it is based on color or motif, I find it easier when I pre-determine what I want to use. HINT: If your handmade gift is modern and glitzy, don’t do your gift bag with a whimsical theme. I try to match the décor of the gift bag with the gift inside.

Choose your theme
