These small bags can be found at most craft stores or dollar stores, and I find they are of stronger material than the printed ones. The carrying handles are also better attached. I only decorate the one side, and it folds back up neatly for storage.
Here I've used some papers from my travels, and a delightful Christmas image which I have coloured with copics. Some gold paper candi, a sparkly gold bow, gold peel-off borders and some gold glitter in the holes of the punched borders gives it quite a festive look. A little bit of stamping on the lower half adds a touch more interest to the DP.
Supplies used:
Lacy Sunshine image - Sleepy Holiday Fred Gnome
Papers from Dovecraft - 'Tis the Season collection
Stamp from Sweet Stamps - Holly Branches
Spellbinders die - Labels 22
MS punch - 3 Dot PATP
Keep in mind, this concept could also be used to recycle a department store gift bag, by covering up their logo. Thanks for your visit once again, and good luck in your wrapping too!
