Stitched Paper Gift Bag

 Here's an easy, fun way to turn a plain paper bag into a personalized gift tote.

1. Stamp the entire bag.
2. Spritz the entire bag with glimmer mist to add additional color and sparkle.
3. While that is drying, trim a separate paper sack with decorative scissors; cut to size of front side of gift bag.
4. Stamp paper and spritz paper lightly with glimmer mist, let dry (this should only take a couple minutes).
5. Cut bright fabric scraps into circles for flowers.
6. Enable free motion stitching on sewing machine and attach flowers with varying stitch designs. Then add stems and leaves. I like bright thread and live by the motto "the messier the better."
7. If you want to free motion a word or message I suggest lightly writing it in pencil, then following along with stitching.
8. Have fun, get creative, try anything!
