DIY Glitter Gift Wrap Bags
Post by Amy of Delineate Your Dwelling
With December here, the holidays are in full swing! It’s time to start baking holiday treats, hanging your stockings and working on gift ideas for family and friends. I’ve always enjoyed wrapping presents and now that my children are getting a little bit older, they always want to lend a helping hand. At Christmas, I am more than happy to oblige that desire with so many presents to wrap. This year, I plan to have them help even make the gift wrap plus, what three and four year old isn’t overjoyed to play with glitter?! Today I am sharing how to create these simple, modern Glitter Gift Wrap Bags.
DIY Glitter Gift Wrap Bags Supplies:
- Brown Paper Bags
- Pencil
- Mod Podge
- Paint Brush
- Lots of Glitter (I used light and dark pink, lime green and red)
Directions:
1. Lightly draw out your shape or letter in pencil. (I drew my “A” in pink so you could see it more clearly.)
2. Get out your glitter stash and decide on the colors you will be using.
3. Using a paint brush, generously cover your design with Mod Podge.
4. This is where my kids had a blast! Let the glitter fly and fly it will because glitter has a way of getting everywhere no matter how hard you try to contain it.
Set your paper bags aside and let them dry as you work on other designs.
Once fully dried, you can shake the bags off and all that is left is your simple design.
Fold about one inch of the bag down and grab a hole punch. Make two holes in the folded down top to be secured with yarn or string.
Tie ribbons or yarn in coordinating colors and enjoy your pretty bags!
I loved how colorful these turned out and yet they only are four different shades of the traditional red and green Christmas colors.
I’m thinking these would be excellent gift bags to bring to a friend’s houses with our baked cookies!
Make sure to grab your favorite colors of glitter and take an afternoon with your kids make glitter gift bags!
