Christmas in July - 10 on the 10th

                   Hand Painted Gift Bags

This month's theme for 10 on the 10th is Christmas in July.  This is where we spend under $10 related to the theme.  This is also a blog hop so I hope you will visit the three blogs at the bottom of this post!

I think the presentation of a gift is just as important as the gift itself, so here's a quick and easy idea to make your gift special !

Supplies needed:

I simply free-hand painted holiday designs on each of the three gift bags and three coordinating gift tags cut from a sheet of cardstock.  A simple checked bow is tied onto the handle and the gift tag is attached with a mini clothespin:

 If you are not artistic, you can use stencils, cut out old Christmas Cards, holiday photos or use rubber stamps!

Recap:

3 paper bags - 3/$1 @ Dollar Tree

1 roll ribbon - $1 @ Dollar Tree

Clothespins - $2 @ Michael's on sale

Acrylic paints and cardstock - all on hand

Each bag cost about $1.33 each, with leftover supplies for another project!
