For the roof, I
cut a piece of white cardstock at 8” x 5 ½” folded it in half, and cut the ends
using my serrated edge scissors, and set aside. I cut piece of pattern paper
for the door at 2” x 2 ¾” and used my hole punch on some scrap white cardstock
for the door knob. Next I cut the green part of the window at 2 ½” x 2 ¼”, and
cut a white piece of cardstock at 2 ¼” x 1 ¾”. Stamped a tree image in green
and adhered it to the green window piece (if you don’t have a tree stamp
you can simply cut a tree out of another piece of plain or pattern paper).
Next, cut out a few slim strips of black cardstock for the window frame and
adhere those. Once those two pieces are finished, you can apply them to the
brown paper bag. Next cut out a thin piece of white card stock and hand cut
some waves on it for a cute snowy effect, and adhere that onto the bag as well.
Once all of those eliminates have been glued you can fill your bag with treats,
a gift, or party favors! Fold the top over, and place the white cardstock roof
over the fold, and using your hole puncher, punch two holes near the top of the
bag and apply your ribbon closure. A-dor-a-ble! Thanks for stopping by!

How to Make a Paper Bag House for Christmas Packaging
Thursday, December 13, 2012
I have a super cute way to package all the mini Christmas
gift items—actually, this would also work as party favors, or treat bags if you’re
hosting a Holiday party. Plus, it’s simple, affordable, and very easy to assemble.
So easy in fact, I didn’t even bother to take pictures of how I did it—or maybe
it’s because I was being lazy. Either way, this is a fun project!
So, all you’ll need
for this project is: Brown paper bags from your local dollar store, white
cardstock, any pattern paper or wrapping paper for the door and shutters, black
cardstock, ribbon, a hole puncher, glue, scissors, and serrated edge scissors
(any edge will work).
