Make Stuff Monday: A quick gift bag (tutorial)

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a super quick gift bag project. I used up quite a huge stash last year so I need to replenish my ready-to-use stock. *winks*

I started with this Kiehl's paper bag.

I measured and cut patterned paper to fit the front and back of the bag, ran it through my Xyron Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive and glued it to the paper bag.

I replaced the paper bag handles with ribbon. And added lace trim to make it a little pretty. :)

Then I went in with my hot glue gun and added some embellishments. I kept it relatively simple because the patterned paper is textured with glittered bits.

I finished with some washi tape at the edges to really secure the patterned paper to the bag as well as add a decorative element to the gift bag.
