Valentine Gift Bags

Valentine Gift Bags are great for gift cards!  Decorate brown kraft bags with Valentine embellishments for a simple and cute gift.

Hello there!  I can’t believe how soon Valentine’s Day will be here.  This year I decided to wait until the last minute on buying my daughter’s preschool teachers a gift.  I generally just buy Target gift cards because everyone loves Target and gift cards, right?!  To make the gift cards extra special I made a couple Valentine Gift Bags that are so adorable!  Let me show you how easy they are to make.

Supplies:  *aff. links

• White Polka Dot Kraft Bags 
• Red Glitter Cardstock
• Red and White Baker’s Twine
• White Paper Doilies
• Adhesive Tape Runner
• Small Circle Hand Punch
• Scissors
• Heart and Lip cut file or you can use a stencil *both are on sale for $0.75
• Electronic Cutting Machine

Instructions:

I started by purchasing the heart and lip cut files from the Silhouette Store.  I opened both files on the same sheet and sized both images to three inches to fit on the brown kraft bags.  I needed four images total and cut them out on red glitter cardstock.  If you don’t have a Silhouette you can always use a stencil or stickers.

Once the images where cut out, I used an adhesive tape runner to adhere the hearts and lips to the paper bags.

Next, I used a small hole punch to punch two holes on the top flap of the bags.  Then I cut a piece of red and white baker’s twine and tied a bow through the hole punches.

I added a small white paper doilie to the bags that have the lips on them.  I folded the doily in half then used the tape runner to adhere it to the top of the bag.  Then, I used the hole punch and twine.

Sometimes the simplest craft projects turn out to be the best.  I just love these Valentine Gift Bags and they are the perfect size for a gift card and small piece of chocolate.
