Make Inexpensive Gift Bags and Wrapping


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 255 Posts

I like to make inexpensive gift bags for year around use. Pillow cases from the thrift stores make great light weight bags, just fold down the top and run a drawstring through.

Yesterday I bought some flannel and felt for $1 a yard (bolt ends). I made up about 8 bags of various sizes and colors for $8, and used some yardage I had on hand (I first braided it) for the cording.

These can be used year after year, and saves the expense of wrapping paper.

We also use the funny papers for wrapping paper as well.

The kids like to take a brown paper grocery bag, cut it, turn it inside out and potato or rubber stamp holiday designs on the solid side, to make their own wrapping paper.

I love this idea, but I have one question. How can you flatten these for storage, then make them look new again, the next time you want to use them?
