  1. First, decide what part of your gift bag will be used in the frame. Then trace and cut both your bag and construction paper to size.

  2. Glue your construction paper to the back of the gift bag.

  3. Poke small holes in the back of the bag to allow light to show through where desired.

  4. Using glue dots or tape, glue your light bulbs over the holes in your paper bag.

    5. Once your lights are in place where you want them, simply put the frame backing on. You may need to tape it if the lights don't allow you to keep it in place. Glue or tape your battery pack to the back and you are all done!

    We kept ours more subtle, but as you can see you can make your holes as small or large as you want. You may decide to highlight the Santa hat or even use some red lights for Rudolph's nose. Use your imagination and creativity to craft the perfect holiday gift or decor.


Another fabulous idea for Christmas crafts is shadow boxes. Did you get our November box Christmas Crafts'giving and need some ideas for your shadow box? You can read our blog here about the contents of that box. Here are some ideas that we completed to inspire you.
