Fancy Brown Paper Gift Bag




Source of Recipe


Betty Jean


List of Ingredients




Plain, brown paper lunch bag
1 hole punch
Few strands plain or colored raffia,
tiny string pearls, thin ribbon or yarn
Dried or silk flowers



Recipe



Place the item you are wrapping inside the bag. Fold the top of the bag over about two inches. Punch two holes, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the center of the bag in the middle of the fold through all layers of the bag.

Turn the bag so that the flap is facing away. Put a few strands of raffia, string pearls, ribbon or yarn through the holes, and tie them in a bow on the facing side. The flap is now tied tightly to the bag.

Tuck a small silk flower and/or a small spray of dried flowers behind the bow.
