Emergency Gift Bags

As always, I can never seem to find a gift bag in the house when I need one. I have some recycled ones laying around but they're always for the wrong occasions. Whenever I need a birthday gift bag, I find instead ones that say "Congratulations on your baby!" or "Merry Christmas". If this is your case also, here's an inexpensive and practical way to make what I call Emergency Gift Bags. Start by finding an old cereal, pasta, or cake box. Here is a Kix cereal box. Cut the top off to your desired size.




And a pair of scissors. I was so happy I found mine. It was lost for over a year.

Grab a roll of wrapping paper of your choice.

Wrap your box.

Punch holes in the center to put ribbons, string, or rope for a handle.

Thread your ribbon, string or rope through the holes.

Here's your Emergency Gift Bag for any occasion. It's inexpensive, practical, recyclable, and it looks great! I wished I had yellow tissue paper but red was all I could find at the time.
