In case you don’t know, I am crazy over paper craft. Ok, ok, I know I’ve mentioned this a few times in blog already. Sorry to bore you all again 😀
I have a deep fascination with brown paper bags or kraft paper. I like to wrap little presents in brown paper bags but if the gifts are big, I would use kraft paper to make my own gift bag. Recently I have some small gifts for a sweet little girl. So, I used a brown paper bag to ‘wrap’ them.
I also got some paper doilies from the baking supply store.
Once I’ve put the pressies in the bag, I sealed it with a paper doily on top.
I found some cute wooden pegs which I bought some time ago. I thought I would use one to clip the bag. It looked pretty plain 🙁
So I decided to punch hole on the bag and tied it with a pink ribbon. A fast and simple way to d-i-y a gift bag 🙂

These are a few of my favourite things…*
