Fast and Easy Gift Bags

I went to a ladies night last night with a couple of close friends.  We had a ball, the local all had a ladies night with freebies, samples, sign ups and such, then dinner and dessert.  I decided to make little bags for each of the ladies.  They were so simple to do.  I started with a plain brown lunch bag.

I cute a strip of pattern paper at 6x3 and adhered to front of bag, then using the Forever Young Cricut cart, I picked a shadow silhouette and cut that at 4".  I picked a cute word for each of the bags and cut them at 1.5". To finish it off, I cut out little flowers at 1.5", all on the same cartridge.

I trimmed the bag tp make them shorter for my purposes. Using a hole punch, I made two holes on each side and ran some fiber ribbon through back to front and tied in a know.  When you pull the ribbon, it closes the bag.

Here is the bag when open, you can see the ribbon all around the top of the bag.  Inside I put some goodies, ie: tea light holder, tea light, gum and some chocolate.  They were a big hit.

In all, I only spent about $2.00 a bag and about 1.5hr of time.

I entered this into the Cardz TV- Challenge#118: “Anything Goes!” Use your Cricut to make a card, Layout or craft project using any cartridge(s), any theme and any colors you’d like.
