Baby shower time! Okay, so I went to grab a gift bag, which would be appropriate for a baby shower and what do you know? I didn't have any! Yikes, okay, time to think fast, again... I had a plain white gift bag and white tissue paper—not very exciting. Although, with a little creative thinking (necessity is the mother of invention, you know?) and help from my kids colored pencils, I drew imperfect, vertical, blue pinstripes on one side and scribbled on the other side.
I frequently print photos when making gift cards, so I thought, "Hey, why not use a photo on the gift bag?" I went to the expectant mother's Facebook photos to search for an ultrasound photo of her unborn baby. Great, I found it! I printed two copies and cut the edges with craft scissors to make them look a little nicer. I then affixed one photo with two super tiny (probably 1/8"x1/8") foam mounting squares, from Michael's Arts and Crafts, in the center of each side of the bag. To top it off, I found some blue ribbon in my ribbon drawer. I tied two bows and glued one to the top each photo using a Glue Dots brand 1/2" adhesive dot. Oh yeah, and I finished it with some of that white tissue paper sticking out. Voila! A DIY baby shower gift bag!
