It’s in the Bag!
Since it is Back to School time I thought it would be fun to round up some DIY lunch bags that have been perked up, prettied up, and fancied, up. Hope you enjoy!
My bag above is a little smaller in size than a regular lunch bag. I used a Martha Stewart border punch (Doily Lace Edge) and then some worded scrapbook Paper as my base to layer some elements onto. Both of the stamps I used are from Verve. The Notebook Paper is a Verver Plain Jane stamp and the “enjoy” sentiment is from a Verve set called, Small Celebrations.
I added some of the worded paper to a mini wooded clothespin and added ribbon and button to finish it off. I love making up these kind of small bags for little gifts.
