DIY Gift Bags
***
When it comes to gift giving, I love to put effort in to the presentation (as well as the actual gift idea of course!)…for me how a gift is wrapped etc is all part of the excitement. That said, gift bags can be pricey! If you’ve gone all in budget wise on the gift, you may not be thrilled at the idea of spending more for flourishes that aren’t technically necessary…or maybe you just realised you’ve run out of wrapping paper! Cue the DIY gift bag! You’ll be surprised how easy it is to whip one up and you’ve probably got all the equipment you’ll need lying around the house already!
And don’t stop at gifts! These bags are the PERFECT size for confetti, sweet treats, favours and lots more. Easily personalised and colour coordinated to your wedding theme. Possibly our most multi-purpose wedding DIY to date!
All you need is one A4 sheet of paper (or cut some left-over wrapping paper to A4 size!) and a glue stick to make our gift bag! Then decorate as you wish (we’re showing you a couple of ideas).
Approximate measurements of finished gift bag: 15x11x3cm.
