Crafting moose and snowman gift bag

Moose gift bag

  • Take leftover wrapping paper, which is usually used as filler for packages, and fold it into a gift bag and glue it together on one side. 
  • Cut out the ears and antlers from the silver colored inside of a milk carton and glue them to the gift bag. 
  • Color a finger with some opaque white and press two fingerprints onto the gift bag with a little distance between them. These will become the eyes later. 
  • As soon as the opaque white layer is dry, use a black Connector felt tip pen to draw two small dots in the center of the set prints. With a red Connector felt-tip pen, you can now also paint on the red nose. 
  • A pair of gloves as small pendants spice up the gift bag even more. Cut two small gloves from old cardboard boxes and paint them individually with the Creative Marker in white as snow. You can also use the Creative Marker to paint little snowflakes on the gift bag. 
  • The gift bag can now be closed with a small foldback clip and the small glove pendant can be attached to the clip with a few pieces of string.
 

Snowman gift bag

  • Cut off the top part of an empty milk carton with scissors and then rinse the milk carton well. Peel off the top layer of paint from the milk carton. This will reveal the kraft paper look layer. 
  • Fold over the top edge of the milk carton so that the silver-colored inside adds extra spice to the gift bag.  
  • Paint the bottom edge of the gift bag with some opaque white to create a little snowy landscape. 
  • Color one finger with some opaque white and press two fingerprints on top of each other on the gift bag. 
  • Once the opaque white layer is dry, use the Connector markers in red, blue, orange and black to illustrate a snowman with a hat, a scarf, a carrot for a nose, some eyes and a mouth.
  • Using the Metallics markers in the colors queen of the navy, date with violet, and nothing else metals paint individual stars on the gift bag. A few snowflakes with the matching Creative Marker in the color white as snow complete the wintry snow landscape. 
  • Cut out a gift tag from cardstock scraps and design it with the Metallics Markers in the colors queen of the navy, date with violet, and nothing else metals. 
  • Attach the finished gift tag to a clothespin with string. The clothespin can also be personalized with a Metallics Marker. 
 

Fir tree planter

  • Cut off the top of an empty milk carton with scissors and then rinse the milk carton well. Peel off the top layer of paint from the milk carton. This will reveal the kraft paper look layer. 
  • Fold over the top edge of the milk carton so that the silver-colored inside adds extra spice to the gift bag.  
  • Completely prime the bottom of the gift bag with a dark green shade from the Connector opaque paint box. Then paint on some stars and dots with the Metallics markers in the colors heart of gold and nothing else metals. 
  • For the two-piece gift tag, cut a round shape from the silver inside of a milk carton and a round shape of the same size from cardstock scraps. Cut the shape from the cardstock scraps wavy in the middle and then customize it with the Metallics markers. 
  • Now place the two shapes on top of each other, with the cut shape from the cardboard scraps on top and poke a small hole through both shapes so that they can then be connected with a string. 
  • Place the fir tree in the planter and tie the gift tag around the planter.
