Cool Gift Bags to Make -
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Ran across all my wallpaper sample books (I only have about 8 ) while looking for items to include in the 100 things challenge. Well, I can’t part with the wallpaper sample books. I love looking at them and have made pretty stationery with matching envelopes from some – or course, who ever writes a real letter anymore? So I was distracted from the task at hand and trying to think of something else fun and useful to do with them and I realized that gift bags might be it. So I hit google and did a little search and guess what? I found an 11 page pdf with very detailed instructions on how to make really nice gift bags from wallpaper! And the instructions work for whatever size paper you have. So I made a few. Using one sample sheet, the bags are about 5″x8″x2.5″ (guess that’s the size gifts I’ll be looking for from here on!). Then a little action with the hole punch, some yarn and they’re done! So check it out and start making yourself some gift bags!
