Easy Gift Bag Tutorial

Hi!  Karen here with a quick and easy tutorial on how to personalize a gift bag for that special someone.  It is a simple way to add a special touch to a gift without adding extra cost.

 I start by using scraps of paper from other projects, a brown paper gift bag, and a colored Gilli image.

I then take the darker paper that I want for the matting and cut various sizes until it fills the side of the bag and adhere them to it.

Next, I cut different patterned papers 1/4" smaller than the matting size and attach them to the matting with adhesive.

I then attached the Gilli image and  I stamp floral designs with stamps from Stamping Scrapping.  I also use some various  rub-ons to finish it off.  This is a cute and fun way to use up odds and ends....and it's pretty and personalized too!!
