I LOVE giving gifts but those gift bags can be expensive. Let me show you DIY gift bags you can make that are easy and cute
Guess what? There is more than one way to make you homemade gift bags so I’m sharing 2 different options in this tutorial–one uses scrapbook paper, or designer series paper and the other uses only cardstock for the bag.
I made these gift bags this summer for my daughter’s baby shower. It was a great way to carry the theme of her shower with customization.
I promise these are easy to make. I have diagrams below to help you remember where to add the Tear and Tape!
To help you make these gift bags I have a FREE Download for you to print off! I have added the video link to the top of the Tutorial to help you find the video easily. Sure hope that this helps you this Holiday Season!

One piece of cardstock or designer series papers will “fit” inside the other one. The image below is the one that fits inside. Both of these are scored the same, the difference is where you put the adhesive.
Y’all know that ‘Brightly Gleaming’ is one of my favorite papers so I had to make a bag using that! The little gift tag was made with the ‘Christmas is Gleaming’ Stamp set and matching dies.
‘Trimming the Town’ designer series paper made a really cute bag! This could even be used as a Housewarming gift bag this winter! Think other occasions you need a quick DIY gift bag and make one!
