Matching Gift Bags for Cheap

Materials:
Wrapping Paper
Tape
Scissors
Gift Bag (make sure it coordinates with wrapping paper)
Ribbon Optional

Directions:

1. Cut the patterned design out of wrapping paper, in the picture it was circles.

2. Tape the wrapping paper cutouts onto the bag, in the picutre there is a row of circles at the top and one in each of the bottom corners.

3. Cut out a rectangle of wrapping paper to make a tag for the bag. Tie on with ribbon or just tape it to the bag.

Tips: Cut out more circles and tape them onto wrapped packages for gift tags or just a nice 3D effect.

Go to the dollar store and buy your bags for cheap OR go to after holiday sales and stock up when wrapping gear is 75% - 90% off.

If you don't want to buy a bag, reuse one that was given to you earlier and decorate to match wrapped gifts. Or just decorate a previously used bag with paper scraps to create a "new" bag.

Thanks for the idea Aunt Deb!
