Holiday DIY: Gift Bag Framed Art

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share a quick holiday craft with you today. We’ll be creating holiday-themed framed art. I have several gift bags that can be beautifully displayed by combining one with a frame. This is a fantastic way to reuse those holiday gift bags; you can even give the finished project as a gift. This project is beginner-friendly, and you might already have these materials. Below, you'll find a list of materials along with a video tutorial.

Video tutorial

**Materials:**

- One frame (I am using an 8 x 10 frame, but any size will work)

- One holiday-themed gift bag

- Epsom salt

- Hot glue or another adhesive

- Craft gems

- Acrylic paint

- Mod Podge

- Optional: Sanding block, assorted craft gems

Start by removing the back of the frame and the glass insert.

Next, use a sanding block to gently sand the surface of the frame. I am using a plastic frame, and sanding it before applying paint will help it adhere better.

After sanding, use a paintbrush to apply acrylic paint to the frame. Be sure to allow the paint to dry completely before adding additional layers. I painted my frame white, then added a few accents of green paint.

I cut the gift bag to fit the size of the frame, ensuring that the bag I used was roughly the same size as the frame.

Use hot glue or another adhesive to attach the gift bag to the frame backing that you removed earlier.

If there is a gap between the design on the bag and the frame, use some paint to fill in the area around the bag cut-out design. After you can insert the frame backing into the frame. I decided to not add the glass back to the design.

Using a smaller paintbrush, apply Mod Podge to select areas of your display before sprinkling Epsom salt on top. I added Mod Podge around the trees and along the inside of the frame.

Finally, add a few assorted craft gems to your design. I love how they add a pop of color and resemble cute ornaments on the trees!

**Quick Tip:** You can also create a bow and attach it to the top of your frame!

Wasn't that simple? For an even easier project, you could use a pre-painted frame to save time. Overall, this is a wonderful craft for reusing those extra gift bags. Thank you for joining me in this creative endeavor. See you soon!
