Start by laying out your gifts the way you want to wrap them. This will help you to gain a general idea on shape and size of each of your packages.
Cut open your paper bag (I cut open one side and removed the bottom which was too thick to be very useful).
When you cut out your paper, make sure to cut it out with lots of extra room so you can sew without it getting stuck in your machine.
Use stencils or stamps to decorate your paper. I made my stencils out of an old card I had laying around- you could also make your own stamps using a potato- I thought this might be the safest way to go for me though. It was less likely I'd cut myself making a stencil.
Fold your paper in half and sew up two of the open sides of your paper. Make sure to leave one side open for you to place your gift in. I used a long zig-zag stitch and red thread for my packages.
Place your gift in your package and sew up the remaining side. And that's it! you're done!
