(this post contains affiliate links)

I know, I know

It’s August

It’s still summer

But last year I was so behind the 8 ball that I didn’t even start thinking about Christmas until December 15th

So I’m getting a jump on things this year!

Besides, I’ve heard that there are actually people out there who start preparing for Christmas before December!

Go figure…



And just maybe you have an extra 5 or 10 minutes on your hands

And you’d like to make a bunch of these bags

And be all about Christmas way before it gets here too!



So here you go —

Probably the quickest and easiest gift bags you’ll ever make



Step One

Get a basic plain brown or white craft bag



Step Two

Glue a used Christmas card to the front

Or a cutout from gift wrap

Or sheet music of a Christmas song

Or a page from an old Christmas book

Or anything else you can think of to glue to the front of a plain gift bag

And Done!


And here’s a quick tip:

If you have tissue paper that’s one-sided
