blogWe love this tutorial for a colorful hand-doodled Easter gift.
I love celebrating holidays and getting inspired to make something new each year. For Easter this year, I decided to make gift bags decorated with my own art doodles. I plan to fill them up with candy and strategically (and secretly) leave them for my friends and family to find. I hope these little surprises will brighten their day!
Easter Gift Bags
Supplies:
• Muslin gift bags (I ordered mine online from Celestial Gifts on Etsy)
• Fabric markers
• Personalized favor tags
• Candy of your choice
• Easter grass (optional)Assembly:
To decorate my bags, I used a set of Tulip brand neon fabric markers. For inspiration, I looked up some fun Easter egg designs on Pinterest and then started doodling. For my first bag, I drew some simple spring flowers. Next, I experimented with different Easter egg designs. I especially liked covering an entire bag with a hand drawn flower pattern. You could also try drawing a bunny, an Easter greeting, or a person’s name.[printfriendly]
Once you’ve finished decorating your bags, you can stuff them with a little Easter grass and a handful of your favorite candy. Pull the drawstring opening closed and tie together with a personalized favor tag. I chose small diamond tags in pink and lilac in the style Color Wash.
Used In This Project:
- Small Diamond Hang Tags • I chose the “Color Wash” style in Lilac.
- Small Diamond Hang Tags • I chose the “Color Wash” style in Pink.
