Quick & Easy Valentine’s Packaging

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope you’re having a great day.  My girls will be coming home from school soon.  I wonder if they’re expecting a present?!?  Well, of course I did get them each something and needed a quick and easy way to wrap it using stuff I already had on hand.  I hope this gives you some ideas in case you want to spruce up gifts you may be giving today.

For my little one I used a plain old brown paper bag…

and made a tag by printing out her photo onto a round white sticker and using scrapbook paper scraps and some craft punches.

I tied it off with red and pink satin ribbon to make it look extra fancy.

For my older daughter I found this wrapping paper in the dollar section at Target yesterday.  I enhanced it with curling ribbon  and some cute lollipops found at Deals.

If you’re giving presents to adults, the same principals apply.

You can dress up a plain wine bottle bag by stamping, and topping with a clothespin and tag.  The tag was also made from paper scraps and craft punches.
