Transform Lunch Bags into Gift Bags

Have you ever spent as much on the wrapping as you did on a gift? Save some of your gift budget with this hack!

Perhaps you remember the embossed kraft gift bag I posted earlier this year, and today I’ll show you how to use the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (back in stock!) to dress up your ordinary lunch sacks. Keep your “present”-ation game at the top, without breaking the bank.

I asked for a fall color combination suggestion and Nila (one of my Sprinkled Inkers) suggested Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze, all of which blended together over the mask beautifully!

Top it off by rolling your bag down twice and folding over a 2-1/2″ strip of Designer Series Paper. The Tartan Foil is an Online Exclusive and has a lovely shimmer! Stamp a sentiment on a strip of card stock, punch a banner end and clip the bag closed with a mini clothespin.

Next, I had to use the Snowflake mask (there are 7 masks in the set, 4 of which make a sunflower as I demonstrated last Monday). This one used Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia for a winter feel:

Recognize the fan-fold top? It’s the same style I did earlier, and it tops off the gift so prettily!

This one uses a hexagon from the new Heartfelt Hexagon bundle (with a punch!) which can also be found in my online store.

Now a video tutorial for both bags with handy tips on using the masks:

Have fun transforming your bags from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY!
