How to turn a Lunch Sack into a Gift Sack

This is a fun little project that will transform an ordinary brown lunch sack into a cute gift sack. All you need is a lunch sack, 1 piece of your favorite 12x12 scrapbooking paper, scissors, tacky glue, gluestick or adhesive tape, single hole punch, ribbon and other embelishments.
1. Cut about 3 inches off the top of the sack. 2. Fold the flap on the bottom of the sack down so you have a flat surface. 3. Cut the scapbooking paper to fit each side of the lunch sack. On one side cut the paper about 2 inches longer shown in the bottom right side photo.
4. Glue, or use adhesive tape and secure the paper to each side.

5. On the longer side fold the paper over the sack.

6. With scissors or paper edgers cut along the end of the flap leaving a little over an inch or more which ever you desire or looks best..

7. Using your embelishments decorate or design the front of the sack for any occasion.
8. Fold the flap over the top and punch two holes going all the way through .
9. Optional: with extra scrapbook paper make a card or gift tag.
10. Thread the ribbon through each hole so the tie is at the front. Attach your gift tag and tie a bow to close.

Fill with goodies, candy, jewelry or soap and lotions.
Have fun with your project!!
