Wrapping gifts in gift wrapping, can be a tedious chore, and cause a backache from bending over, cutting and shaping. The use of a gift bag is so much easier, neater and easier to carry.
Steps
-
Open the gift bag and lay it on its side on a table or surface. Make sure it is the correct size for the gift. Wrap the gift in colored tissue paper.
-
Scrunch tissue paper and place at the bottom of the bag.Advertisement
-
Slide gift into bag and turn bag upright. Place two small sheets of paper inside the bag between bag opening and gift on each side.
-
Make sure the tissue paper covers the gift. Allow the tissue paper to extend above the sides of the bag itself, arranging it neatly and attractively.
-
Tie the handles together with a small piece of scissor curled ribbon if the gift is small enough to accept this. Otherwise, just allow the handles to be separate. Its easier to carry it this way.

Finished.

QuestionHow do I make a simple gift bag for school?Community AnswerGet a pack of little plastic sacks with a pattern, or some kind of soft fabric. These bags should be fairly small if they're for a class (about the size of an iPad mini). Fill them with candy, gum, pencils, erasers, little bouncy balls, and whatever else. If it's for a teacher, put a gift card and a kind note.

QuestionAny ideas how I can gift wrap a backpack?Community AnswerYou could put it in a big gift bag. They sell them at dollar stores or Walmart. If it won't fit in a bag, just tie a bow on it and write a card saying "Happy Birthday!"
