Decorated Gift Bag
Hello there!
Today I have a crafty project to share AND it’s not a card! Can you believe it? I sometimes even surprise myself. :)
As many of you know, I have two sisters. One of them is more sporty, while the other can be sporty and girly all wrapped in one. Honestly, she’s a complete mix of her older sisters- that may be why she gets along with us so well. Anyhow….Krista* (the youngest) is a fabulous chef and travels a lot. On one of her trips, I decided to surprise her with a little bag of treats for her plane ride. I couldn’t just give her a boring gift bag, so I decorated it up before putting in the treats.
* I’m planning on doing a post about my sis in the future
I was pleasantly surprised how easily this came together! I guess hoarding things comes in handy when you want to add a lot of fun elements!
I started out with a plain white gift bag. I learned quickly that it doesn’t work well to stamp directly on the bag, so I added a piece of pink cardstock and that became my “base”. I pulled out doilies, rhinetones, die cuts, scallops….pretty much anything girly I had, I added.
Here’s a closer glimpse at some of the details:
On the inside, I added some of her favorite treats and a note. It’s a small gesture, but imagine how fun if someone gave you one of these before a long trip.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some blog love!
*NOT LISTED: doily, butterfly and oval die cuts, rhienstones, letter stamps, light pink ink/ cardstock
Seriously?!?!? This is too FAB, Paulina!! It’s so pretty and just dang perfect…sigh. I covet this little bag, the glitter, the rhinestones, the pinkness, the down right girlyness…ohhh so perfect and adorable! What a very lucky sister indeed!! :)
Paulina, I love all of that glitter and bling!!! What a fun gift bag!!
Gorgeous! I feel better knowing that others hoard too! ;) Looking forward to reading more about your sister…love the new blog format. :)
