Two Easter Cellophane Gift Bags:

I made these two Easter cellophane gift bags from cellophane gift wrap for gift baskets.

The first gift bag is made from clear cellophane. I put small chocolate Easter Eggs in and tied with thin lavender and peach ribbon. I also used green and yellow curling ribbon and made it curly.

The second gift bag is made from printed Easter cellophane. I filled it with shredded light green paper, Easter grass, and on top are small chocolate eggs. It is tied with green, yellow and pink curling ribbon.

After, I tied the ribbon to the gift bag and took a pair of scissors and ran the curling ribbon through my thumb and the scissors. This made it nice and curly. How to make a cello bag.

 

How to Make A Small Flower Pot Gift Bag Idea

Cellophane gift bags with a small pot, soil and a packet of seeds, herbs or flowers, is the perfect gift to give as a single gift for a Thank you gift basket or part of a Birthday gift basket. If you are making a gift basket, make a few more, with different packets of seeds and tie a gift tag with instructions on how to grow the seeds. This is how you make it:

First you buy the flower pot and saucer. These are cheap to buy from garden centers or big stores in the garden section.

This pot measures 2 3/4 inches (that's measuring across the top of the pot). From this you make the cellophane gift bag.

The gift bag measures 12 inches by 10 1/2 inches (30.5cm by 26.7cm). When made, it measures 6 inches by 10 1/2 inches (15.2cm by 26.7cm) Follow the instruction below on how to make the gift bag.

1. Cut a piece of cellophane measuring 10 inches square (25.4cm square). Place it into the pot, push it down and fill with soil, so it's level with the top of the pot. Twist the cellophane and tie with ribbon.
   
   
2. Place the saucer and pot (with the small bag of soil) into the gift bag. Put a packet of seeds in between the pot and the cellophane, and tie with ribbon.
   
   
3. At the bottom of the cellophane gift bag you will have cellophane sticking out at both sides.  Just get some scotch tape, fold vertically and tape to the underneath of the gift bag.

This second cellophane gift bag is much the same as the above one but I painted the flower pot, put a packet of flower seeds inside and used curling ribbon to decorate it. How to make a cello bag.

These small flower pots would make a great gift basket. Fill your homemade gift basket ideas with five or six of these. In each one put a different packet of herbs or other kind of seeds. You could also add a small gift tag, describing how to care for the herb or the culinary uses and their benefits to health.
