Counting My Blessings Bag for Thanksgiving

Gift bags can be pretty expensive. Instead of purchasing them at the store, make your own DIY gift bags when you follow the Counting My Blessings Bag for Thanksgiving tutorial. This awesome Thanksgiving craft idea works for any fall occasion. Give gifts to guests at your Thanksgiving meal, or use this bag for birthday presents. The project comes together beautifully, and the recipient is sure to appreciate the gorgeous bag as much as the gift inside it!

Materials from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L:

• MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser
• MyStik™Repositionable Dots
• Crafty Foam Tape

Other Materials:

• Cosmo Cricket: Patterned Paper
• Spellbinders: Maple Leaves Die
• Papertrey Ink: Dies (Heart Border, Tags, Label); Stamps
• Plain Brown Shopping Bag

Instructions:

1. Attach the brown panel and the blue strip to the bag using the MyStik™ Permanent Strips.





2. Next, switch out the Permanent Strips for the Repositionable Dots. This allows you to get full adhesive coverage on the small heart border cuts, while still being able to place them perfectly straight (or re-position, if you make a mistake!)



3. The last step was to add the Leaf die cuts – layer them so they have a lot of dimension. To achieve this look, use the Crafty Foam Tape.





Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! :-)
