Just wanted to show you one of my old tricks. Brown paper lunch bags stamped with a green bingo marker in the shape of a Christmas Tree.
If I had red paint I would have put a few red dots here and there to look like ornaments. Since I didn't have any red paint on hand today, I just cut up Christmas Seals and stuck the pieces here and there on the tree. After filling, I fold over the top and close with red ribbon pushed through two holes and tie the bow.
Merry Christmas !!

Good Evening Ann,
What beautiful brown bags. You are very clever. I wouldn't have thought of doing something like that. I'm not on the crafty side. LOL. Those are just adorable. If you had some red magic markers, you could have used those. Thanks for sharing it with us. Just wanted to wish you and yours a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" from our Family. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!! Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Very very resourceful... I love them!
That is a nice ecologically sound idea!
Being a quilter, one year I used fabric to wrap all the gifts for quilty friends, & family- the ones who didnt sew gave me the fabric, so we all won out!!
I love this!
We used little bags like this one year for the Christmas ornaments we do for everyone.
My Husband carved 'stamps' from raw potatoes. A Christmas tree, a bell, snowflake, snowman, and on and on.
We spent a whole afternoon doing the bags, and had so much fun doing it!
Yesterday was our anniversary. We spent the day working on gifts. It is becoming a tradition.
Merry Christmas to you, Ann, and to your family.
