You can usually buy basic colored gift bags cheaply at any big box store. I think they work fine as a starting off point to make a statement that has the recipient liking the wrapping as much as the bag!

Instructions

    gather your supplies!

  2. Small hearttrace zpsrmlpevtn

    Heat up your fuse tool. Trace your template onto the plastic sleeve with a marker. I chose a heart shape here - I love hearts!

  3. Small 110242 2f2015 08 21 211354 glitter%2bhalf

    Once heat tool is warm use tip to trace inside your shape. Leave a small gap to use to fill with glitter. Do not press to hard or your plastic will rip. Fill with glitter. I say about 1/3 full so you can shake it up like a snow globe! Once filled seal hole with fuse tool.

  4. Small craftybagcompl zps2hny9ciz

    Use scissors to cut your shape out eliminating any marker bits. I like using scissors instead of the cutting attachment because it allows you to cut curves easier. Poke hole into top corner of your tag with the heat tool. A small fast hole will do. Not to big so glitter will not fill out. Use chunky glitter like I did - it will not get everywhere! Thread yarn or ribbon through the hole and attach to your gift bag!
