Glitter Gift Bags

Friday, December 11, 2009

In need of a holiday gift bag? These bags can be made literally in minutes. You can buy inexpensive blank bags in holiday colors. Then just add glitter or glitter glue in these fast and easy designs. No patterns to trace, just draw. It's just doodling! They are so easy, kids can make them, too.

You need:

• red gift bag
• craft glitter: gold, silver
• white craft glue

Try this:

1. Squeezing glue straight from bottle, draw three spirals. Sprinkle gold glitter on while glue is wet.

2. Draw a small rectangle on top of each ornament and a string going straight up. Sprinkle silver glitter on while glue is wet.

3. Lay flat to dry.

You need:

• blue gift bag
• fine silver glitter
• white craft glue
• straight pin

Try this:

1. Draw two or three big snowflakes. Sprinkle glitter on while glue is wet.

2. Squeeze out a dot of glue about the size of a pea. Draw the pin through the glue to form a small star. Sprinkle glitter on. Repeat as many times as you want stars.

3. Add a few dots in the background. Lay flat to dry.

Stars can be make with a + on top of an X. Add dots at the ends.

You need:

• white gift bag
• Big & Glitzy Glitter Glue: emerald, ruby
• Glitter glue: gold

Try this:

1. Draw a big squiggle tree on front of bag. Add red dots for ornaments.

2. Add a gold star and a gold squiggle trunk.

3. Lay flat to dry.

Really, glitter over glue, and Glitter Glue can be interchanged as you wish. Both are sparkly, especially if you are using Big & Glitzy!

Personalize your gift bag designs by changing colors or combining designs.

Glitter on!
