Gift Bag Video Tutorial: Last Minute Ideas for Christmas

Are you getting close to “done” with your Christmas prep?  Here’s a last-minute Video Minute with Meg that will give you a fun way to turn your extra Christmas cards into gift bag toppers.

Here’s all you’ll need:

  • Christmas card
  • Gift bag (or paper lunch sack)
  • Ribbon of your choice (bonus points if it matches your card!)
  • Hole punch (I used the Little Labels Punch Pack for extra flair – see it online)

And of course, you don’t need to limit yourself to only Christmas!  This last-minute minute also works for birthday gifts, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc.

Curious about the card itself?  Here’s the original project with details and supply lists on my blog.

Or looking for more packaging ideas?  I am a huge fan of gift bags & boxes!  Here are more ‘boxes & bags’ ideas from my blog.

Happy Stamping!

Definitely a good fit for yarn :) I have my latest project ready to post this week. I made a sweater for our guinea pig! Hope you are doing well!
