I must apologize up front for the poor photo. I literally made these gift bags at the last minute for my team for convention (like right before I went to the airport) and so I didn't get a chance to do a proper photo. I'm sorry!
These bags were super quick! The bags themselves are from Michaels and could be also used for Pirate party or luncheon, depending on which ones you used in the set.
I cut the large Mickey heads at 4" and the initial parts at 2", all layers and all from the Cricut Mickey Font cartridge. I made 12 bags in total.
Trust me when I say the project is fast...LOL! Literally - right before I left for the airport...

ReplyDeleteNope - in the past I never got around to them until after Thanksgiving. And last year I didn't make them - I got tired of putting all the time and effort into something that most people throw away

Looks like you work really well under pressure! Those bags are super cute. I have about half my Christmas cards done, i.e. about 40-45. I generally make 85-90, so I'm well on my way. This is the first year I started making cards in January and have finished 4-6 cards (sometimes more) each month. It'll be so great not to have to make them all during November and December.
ReplyDeleteLike the Disney bags. I have started my Christmas cards. I use to work for the Mouse as in Mickey Mouse at Disney World thru high school & college.

I haven't started my Christmas cards yet (check back about December 15th); as a matter of fact, my granddaughter's first birthday party is Saturday and I haven't yet come up with an idea for her card!
ReplyDeleteJust love everything Disney! Great joy

There's one in every crowd who has to ask in July if we've started our Christmas cards yet - reminds me of the one in every crowd who has to talk about diets when we're out to lunch with girlfriends LOL I think you can figure out my answer :)
