DIY Gift Bag

Last week I saw a video showing how to wrap presents that do not come in a box. It was pretty easy and got me to think I could use the same technique for a gift bag. It is also a fun project to do with children as well.

You will need the following for the gift bag:

  • Paper, any paper you have will do
  • Scissors
  • Puncher
  • Grommets
  • Sticky tape
  • Ribbon

Fold over the top of the paper. You can glue it if you wish, but it is not necessary.
