Day 8: Printable Paper Sack Gift Bags

Day 8: Printable Paper Sack Gift Bags

I really love this creation. Printing on things that aren’t normally a printable item: awesome. I love it. These bags are the perfect lazy-person gift wrap. I LOVE a pretty wrapping paper (so much), but sometimes I just want something quick for gifts. These would be the perfect transport for a holiday treat for your neighbor, or why not wrap a Christmas gift in this bag? I would.

Supplies:

• a pack of paper lunch sacks
• washi tape
• printer paper
• painter’s tape
• printer
• free printable gift bag printables (For You, A Gift For You, and Treat Yourself)

Directions:

STEP 1:

Use the painter’s tape to attach the top and bottom of one paper lunch bag to the center of the printer paper. You can measure the center of the printer paper, or just eye-it.

STEP 2:

Place the printer paper/lunch bag combo into the printer paper tray and print the image onto the paper bag.

Tip: if you’re careful removing the tape from the bag, you can reuse the tape and printer paper for multiple bag prints. 

STEP 3:

Put your gift or treat into the bag, add a bit of pretty washi tape to seal it, and you have a pretty packaged gift.

Cost: 

About $6 for a pack of paper bags and washi tape.
