Ribbon Handled Gift Sacks
Here’s the players:
Mini paper bags
stapler with colored staples (available at craft stores)
scissors
an assortment of ribbon, cut in 8” strips
craft butterflies; mine came from the Dollar Tree but they are also at any craft store
not shown are the Glue Dots that come into play later
Pair up the ribbons into coordinating twosomes.
Place one end of the paired ribbons in the middle on the top of the bag.
Put the bottom of the staple inside the opening of the bag, under the ribbon and staple.
I like to use several staples to attach the ribbon to the bag cause it looks cuter and makes the handle more stable.
Flip the bag over and secure the other ends of the ribbon to the other side of the bag. I like to keep the ribbon ends uneven…I like things to look haphazard and stuff.
Here’s one of the little butterflies. There was a piece of wire embedded in its belly, so I pulled it out so it could be glue-dotted to the bag.
Voila! A slightly tilted little butterfly finishes off the bag.
Here’s the sweet trio of butterfly bags, filled with tissue just waiting to be filled with treats and goodies for friends and loved ones. I just LOVE these, so easy and just so pretty.
