Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather my supplies
First, I need to gather all my supplies together. I take out my gift bags, tissue paper, gift tags, ribbon, stickers, and all the small items I want to include like candies and trinkets. I make sure I have scissors and tape ready too!
Step 2: Prepare the gift bags
I start with the gift bags. I carefully open each one and place some colorful tissue paper at the bottom. This not only looks great but also adds a little cushioning for the goodies!
Step 3: Fill the bags with goodies
Now it's time to add the fun stuff! I select a variety of small items to include in each bag. I’m putting in some candies, a cute trinket, and maybe even a little toy if I have some. Each bag gets a nice little assortment!
Step 4: Add a personal touch
Next, I prepare my personalized notes or cards. I write a sweet message for each friend, expressing how much I appreciate them. I fold each note and tuck it into the gift bag so they see my heartfelt message when they open it.
Step 5: Seal the bags
It’s time to seal the gift bags! I grab my scissors and ribbon, and I cut some pieces to tie the bags closed. It adds an elegant touch! I make sure to tie them in pretty bows.
Step 6: Decorate the bags
Now, I take some stickers and get creative. I stick fun designs on each bag to give them a personal flair. It’s so much fun to add my own artistic touch!
Step 7: Wrap with Cellophane
For the final touch, I take the cellophane wrap and cut it to size. I wrap each gift bag in the cellophane and tie it off at the top with more ribbon. This makes the bags look super neat and protects everything inside!
Step 8: Final check
Before I finish, I do a final check of each bag to ensure everything is in place. I want to make sure each friend gets a delightful surprise when they receive their gift!
Step 9: Surprise my friends!
Finally, I’m ready to surprise my friends! I can’t wait to give these gift bags to them and see their smiles when they open them. It’s the perfect way to show my appreciation!
