Holly Berry Muslin Gift Bags

Well, Christmas is DAYS away — like 7!  Wow.  Are you ready?  I’ve been tackling a few things and trying to think on some creative packaging.  I love to have some of my gifts to stand out amongst the rest…  How about you?  Today’s creative wrapping is using muslin bags.  Friends, they are an all time favorite of mine.  You can do soooo many fun things!  How about adding a little felt holly berry?  Let’s take a look at how simple these Holly Berry Muslin Gift Bags are to pull together.

Supplies:
Muslin Bags (I used 5×7)
Red Felt
Green Felt
Scissors
Glue Gun

Okay, so first things first — you’ll want to cut out your leaves and berries.  I used two leaves and three red felt berries per bag. Feel free to add more or use less.  I cheated a little and used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the leaves with the Sizzix Bigz Die – Camellia.  The leaf worked perfectly!  However, you can easily trace out the shape of your leaf on paper and then use it as a template for your felt.  The berries I did on my own, they seemed to be a little more tedious, but no biggy.

Next you’re going to glue them onto your bags.  NOTE:  Be sure to insert a piece of cardboard into the bag before gluing your embellishment on or you’r bag will glue the sides together {gulp}.

And — are you ready for this?  You’re done!  That’s it.  Easy breezy, right?

I think they are super cute!  They’re great for gift cards, trial size Bath and Body Works goodies, ornaments, candy, and MORE!  I used a little tissue paper to wrap the goodies — you can see the red and white polka dots through the bag a bit.  This is a gift for a friend, so I can’t show you what’s inside, but it’s cute {wink}.

To complete the look, I added a handmade gift tag too!  I did a little coordinating and used some vintage inspired fabric with holly berries on it.  #nailedit

Holly Berry is so stinking festive!  Red and Green.  Love it!
