Make sure it is the correct size for the gift. Wrap the gift in colored tissue paper.

Place two small sheets of paper inside the bag between bag opening and gift on each side.
Allow the tissue paper to extend above the sides of the bag itself, arranging it neatly and attractively.
Otherwise, just allow the handles to be separate. Its easier to carry it this way.

Question

How do I make a simple gift bag for school?

Community Answer

Get a pack of little plastic sacks with a pattern, or some kind of soft fabric. These bags should be fairly small if they're for a class (about the size of an iPad mini). Fill them with candy, gum, pencils, erasers, little bouncy balls, and whatever else. If it's for a teacher, put a gift card and a kind note.

Question

Any ideas how I can gift wrap a backpack?

Community Answer

You could put it in a big gift bag. They sell them at dollar stores or Walmart. If it won't fit in a bag, just tie a bow on it and write a card saying "Happy Birthday!"

Stick a card in the side of the bag. It's an easier way to make the present look more personal.
