I love giving gifts at Christmastime and I like to make opening them special, too. I’ve been known to freeze gift cards in a block of ice or doing a treasure hunt with gifts. I love the look on my family’s faces when they have to go through several layers of gift wrap or tape to get inside. Today I’m showing you some fun Christmas gift bag ideas that are easy and inexpensive and make the gifts feel extra special. Plus, the bags can be used over and over.

It’s Day 9 and we are sharing Pretty Gift Wrapping Ideas!
I found some Christmas kitchen towel in sets of two at the Target Dollar Spot and thought they would make great gift bags when I sewed them together. I also received a package of muslin bags from burlapfabric.com and thought they would make cute gift bags, as well.
I simply put the two towels together, right sides out, and sewed around the edge leaving the top open. I just added the gift and tied the top with a ribbon and Christmas embellishments.
For the muslin bags I decided to add polka dots on the front. I used acrylic paint and finger daubers that you can find in the paint brush area at the craft store.
I cut a piece off cardstock the size of the bag and inserted that inside to prevent the paint from bleeding through. With my finger dauber on my finger I dipped it into the paint and dabbed it on the paper plate. Then I stamped it onto the muslin bag about half way down.
I offset each row to create a fun design. Once it was done I set it aside to dry. I didn’t do the top part of the bag because I knew I would be bunching that section together to close the bag with a bow and embellishments.
Easy peasy cute gift bags that can be used for other things or reused next Christmas. I love them. Now to go make more. Be sure to keep reading and see more gift wrapping ideas below.
