I have about 45 birthdays in the month of August (okay..slight exaggeration..but it FEELS like 45)
and when it’s all said and done…i’m broke! and you know what always makes me the most mad…
spending 3-5 dollars on a gift bag….ON TOP of the price of the present that goes IN the bag.
(and most people just throw them away!)
so today i’m being cheap and showing you how to decorate a plain gift bag
(you know…the ones that are cheaper than a dollar)
and the best part is…you only need a sharpie and some cardstock (or you can print images if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body)
i took a stamp i liked and just mimicked the baby face and wrote out congrats
and as you can see from the pile i didn’t stop..i tried to make a variety…women, boys, baby blessing, birthdays, what have you.
then i took this tape that is thick….so it makes your pictures stand out from the bag…
(pretty sure this tape is an elmer’s product!)
then you just peel and stick!
you can even use this technique to cover up logos….
AND i even got the kids in on the action….these would make awesome party favor bags!
or get creative and give your kids sack lunches to smile about!!!
i even grabbed a piece of vinyl and cut a heart and stuck it on…..took less than a minute!
so…as your gifting it good this season…make sure not to break the bank on these expensive bags!!!!
i also added polka dots on gift bags to hand out
and i shared on instagram how i like to draw pictures on my kids lunch bags!
so get creative with your bad self!!!
