Red, White, and Blue Gift Bags

Good morning to all of my Pebbles friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, with a quick and easy little project I whipped up to share some fun patriotic treats with some of my favorite neighbors!  I love sharing a little surprise gift at random times, but when there’s a holiday or reason for celebration, it’s even a BETTER time to share!  I used the Gift Bag Punch Board (from We R Memory Keepers) and the “Americana” collection to create this fun little set of gift bags.

I love the versatility of the gift bag board.  I used the “large” size marking for all three of these bags, but made each one a different height.

I also like adding a contrasting band across the top of each of the bags.  Here’s a closer look at the tops:

Did you notice that two of the bags have “insides” that match the band?  That’s because I simply scored and folded the top of the paper before creating the bag.

But the third bag band doesn’t match the inside.  I thought the pattern was a little too large for the top band.  So instead, I opted to cut a strip from a coordinating paper and glue it to the paper before making the bag.

Both techniques are really easy and add a fun bit of contrast to the bags.  After creating the bags, simply add a few coordinating embellishments to the bag fronts, then fill them up with yummy treats to share!  Happy 4th of July!! 🙂
