Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Gift Bags

Step One - Create the Dots

!diy wedding

To create the white polka dots take your white paint marker and your old CD/DVD. Use the inside circle of the old CD/DVD as a template and fill it in with the paint marker. It will give the perfect sized polka dots. Place them randomly over the back and front of the bag.

Adding a Touch of French Flair

Add a little French flair by thanking guest with a handmade Merci gift tag. We hand drew the thank you note with our 3.5 Marvy calligraphy pen, but you can opt to buy a hand stamp. After all writing out a hundred thank your might make your hand cramp. We found one on Etsy for only $3.25.

Tying it All Together with a Bow

After you stuff your goodie bag with tasty treats for your guest it’s time to tie it all together.  Take the 7/8” pink satin ribbon and cut 34” long strips. Next, take the top of the gift bag and fold it down making a 1 ½” flap. Take your hole punch and punch two holes at the top about 2 1/2” apart. Loop the ribbon through the punched holes while also attaching the Merci gift tag. Simply tie the satin ribbon into a big bow.
