This post is brought to you by Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club.
With a three year old who loves to craft, I'm always looking for crafty ways to involve him in the holidays. Last year he helped dress up packages with stickers, pom poms and glitter [see Five Ways to Wrap Gifts with Kids (that still look great)]. This year, I saw a great idea on the Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club and decided to use it to make our own custom gift bags!
Supplies
- White or kraft paper gift bags
- Plates (I have plastic ones I re-use over and over for paint)
- Balloons
- Craft paint
- Pipe cleaners
- Googly eyes
- Scrap paper
- Bow and bell ornaments
- Laser tape or washi tape
- Glue
You can get all of these supplies at your local Dollar Tree!
Directions
Check out the directions on the Dollar Tree site here.
Lay out your gift bags and go crazy with your imagination.
For snowmen, use blue and white paint circles stacked on top of each other. Use the googly eyes, pipe cleaners and scrap paper to add additional details like facial features, a hat or a scarf.
For reindeer, I used brown paint and turned them into reindeer faces with googly eyes and sparkly pipe cleaner antlers. I added jingle bells to the small ones (with laser tape as a collar) and a huge ornament as a bow on the bigger one.
I love how these gift bags turned out! If you are looking for easy, inexpensive holiday projects, be sure to check out the Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club.
