Using Photos to Decorate a Gift Bag

Photos are never a bad idea! With teacher gifts, graduation gifts and wedding gifts abound it's time to think of creative presentation choices - and here is another that I just love both for the creativity and the frugality.

Let's start with your gift - whether it's store bought or homemade goodies. Add a (cheap) sold colored bag from the party or paper good store, which you can get for $.50 - $1.00. With just a photo copier or scanner and printer you can choose 3 to 7 photos of them, their friends, the classroom or if it's a wedding gift, the happy couple and after making copies (color or black and white) cut them out and spray the backs with adhesive spray or glue. Attach them to the bag as you wish in a pattern or hodge-podge. Add poems, one-liners, notes with good wishes for the birthday recipient, happy couple or teacher... whatever you wish!

So frugal yet fun!
