Fearless Friday, Holiday Lights Gift Bag
Today we’re going to make some gift bags!
This is super fun and you do not have to have special skills, I promise!
Draw a loopy line with a felt tip marker
Then draw another line weaving back and forth over the first line
Now add the “sockets” with a slightly curved stroke of the wide/broad point of a gray or silver marker
Draw the outline of a bulb shape leaving an area for a white highlight
Fill in with red
Add green {or any color you want} bulbs next
Then finish with a 3rd color bulb
I chose bright pink because the gift going in the bag is red, pink and green
Now add details with a fine liner pen,
outlining the bulb shapes and highlights
and adding lines to the sockets
See how easy that was?
If you want to light them up, add a few strokes of yellow around each bulb
and emphasize them with little black lines
Add polka dots just for fun!
I bought this pack of 12 white bags at Target for $5.99
Have fun and Be Fearless!

Jenna, these are too cute and I think I can do it! Happy Friday!
You can even get Ella Mae involved, instead of drawing the bulbs, you can use her finger or thumb print to make the light bulbs…
Thanks, that is a great idea!
So adorable! I love this idea!!

These are so cute and festive!! A great money saver, too. Bags are so expensive!!
Bags are expensive, if I had the time, I bet I could have found them even cheaper, maybe Dollar Tree. Fun to make too!
These are great and so easy (once you know how). Thank you so much for this great tutorial.
Thank you, have fun!

Thanks Judy, white lunch bags are perfect!
