By | December 15, 2022

Snowman_Magic_Upcycled_Gift_Bag

It’s Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas! Here’s a nifty holiday gift packaging idea created with the boutique shopping bags that pile up. I hate to toss and waste the small paper shopping bags with handles that I receive at gift shops.

These small bags aren’t reusable gift bags As Is, however, since they often bear a logo or sticker. Today, I’ll be recycling, or UPcycling, the bags into colorful, crafty holiday gift bags.

Step-by-Step Replay

I share the tools and supplies needed to upcycle the shopping bags as I demonstrate how to make the Upcycled Holiday Gift Bags in this video. You’ll see step-by-step instructions and measurements in the video, a Facebook Happy Hour with AnaMarie tutorial.

It’s Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing a sweet stocking stuffer idea— it’s a special way to give a gift card. Give a treat PLUS the gift card inside this nice gift box.

Today’s project is a long-time favorite. Since the project requires lots of scoring and trimming, the project is suitable for the casual to advanced crafter. I’m sharing the Christmas version featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper and the Jingle, Jingle, Jingle stamp set, but you could substitute supplies on hand.

Today’s video tutorial is from the archives — you’ll see a version I created for Father’s Day. Plus, there is a PDF with measurements and scoring/cutting directions HERE.

DIT Gift Box for Cards

It’s Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Every day for 12 days, I’m bringing you along as I craft and get set for my Christmas greetings and gifts. The projects I’m sharing during the 12 Days of Christmas are the projects I’m gifting to my service peeps like the dog groomer, hair stylist, etc., plus the neighbors, friends, club members and family.

Today I’m sharing an adorable diy gift box for cards that you can craft with basic tools and supplies that will accommodate 8-12 cards and envelopes. As a demonstrator I create lots of cards and projects. While I do my best to mail them off, there are always many on my counter. The holidays are a perfect time for me to gather a set, pop them into a box and gift them! I’ll grab a variety of birthday, thank you, sympathy, friendship or occasion cards so the recipient can be prepared to celebrate and recognize their favorite peeps.

This is a fun, custom box that won’t be a duplicate gift for anyone on my list.

Step-by-Step Replay

I demo how to make this special gift box with step-by-step instructions and measurements in this video, a Facebook Happy Hour with AnaMarie tutorial.

As with most of the projects presented during the Just Stamp 12 Days of Christmas, you can easily substitute a stamp set and papers you have on hand. If you want to duplicate the project as I designed it, HERE’S a link to the supply list.

DIY Custom Gift Box or Socks

It’s Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing how to craft custom gift boxes for jewelry, socks, slipper sox, edible treats and almost any small item.

Remember back in the day when the Customer Service counter at the nice department store handed out gift boxes with purchases. Have you gotten one lately? Just wondering. I find it difficult just locating the Customer Service counter these days. 😆

No worries! You don’t need the department store boxes for your special gifts. You can craft and customize your gift boxes with just the basic tools. Your gift recipients will feel the love when they see your handmade gift box.

Basic Tools and Supplies 

  • Simply Scored
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Adhesive

Step-by-Step Replay

I demo how to determine the size box you’ll need and I also share step-by-step instructions and measurement to make a Box for Socks with the Basic Tools in this video, a Facebook Happy Hour with AnaMarie tutorial.

Give it a try! A custom gift box means so much more that a store-bought gift bag. The recipient will be thrilled to see your crafty skills in action.
