Step-by-step
Step 1
First, make your folded bag by following our instructions and seal the bottom of the bag with glue.
Step 2
To keep all the circles nice and even, use a template (you can make one out of cardboard, or use a coin to draw round) and draw lots of circles on the bag, then colour them in with lots of bright colours. You could even try overlapping the circles sometimes.
Step 3
When you’ve finished colouring in your gift bag, pop the present inside.
Step 4
Now fold the top edge of the bag over and punch a hole in the middle. Finally, thread the gift ribbon through and seal the bag with a pretty bow.
