Paper Grocery Sacks made into Gift Bags


I met my Aunt and Sister at Scrapfest in the Mall of America this past weekend (had SO much fun). I had some goodies for them and I decided to put them in paper grocery sacks. I was thinking of ways to decorate the bags and came up these. First I used brown mist and plastic stencils to make a design on the front of each bag. Then I sewed some lace around the top. The thicker one first and then the smaller one second. I also sewed (cotton Ribbon) handles at the same time as the lace. I used hearts cut out of book paper, a flower made out of vintage clothes pattern paper and buttons. My Sister and Aunt really liked them.
