I love dressing up plain gift bags. Here's a very inexpensive gift bag from Michaels. With a coupon, I paid under $2.00 for a pack of 10.
I didn't like the white handle, so I gave it a quick spray with Peach Delight Glimmer Mist. I also gave the front of the bag a light spray. The colors matched really well, so it mostly provided a bit of shimmer.
With Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist, I colored some ivory trim. I used the same technique to curl the trim into vines that I did during September's Flamingo Five.
I dug into my scraps pile and layered a green polka dot on some plain white paper. (Actually, the white paper is the back of a very ugly pattern!) I rubbed some Orange Peel Stickles onto a Prima flower, added a button in the center, then attached my green vines.
Here's the finished bag. I think it's much cuter and much more personal than the original!
From Flamingo Scraps: Prima flower; Glimmer Mist; Stickles; Cheep Trims lace
Other: Michaels gift bag; Provo Craft patterned paper; unknown button
