There are lots of fun cellophane out there, so have fun when you make your own gift bag. They are the ideal gift to make. Quick, easy and cheap for any last-minute occasion.
Children's birthdays, even a Valentine's gift or Easter gift bags for those Easter egg hunts.
Keep in mind the size of the items you wish to use. The size of the bag might change but the method stays the same.
How to make gift bags? Cut a piece of cellophane measuring 12 inches wide (30.5cm wide) by 9 inches high (22.9 cm high)
Fold the bottom of the cellophane and machine stitch 1/2 inch (0.6 cm)
Fold the cellophane in half leaving 1/2 inch (0.6 cm) from the edge. This is so you can fold the cellophane on the right side over and sew to give a neat finish.
Then, sew down the side and along the bottom.
This is my end result. A gift bag perfect for any birthday party and it was made in minutes.
All I need now is to fill it with cupcakes and tie it with a bow.
