Handprint Carrot Gift Bags {Craft}

I’ve been on a “gift making” tutorial overload lately. In case you missed them – I recently shared Salt Dough Gift Tags, Some “Bunny” Loves You Gift Tag Printable, Mini Easter Baskets,
and Flower Gift Bags tutorials. If you are planning on giving out gifts this coming Easter and/or just want to make something for your friends to say thank you – I suggest you check out those posts. {They also make for great teacher appreciation gifts or even gifts for grandparents}

Today’s Handprint Carrot Gift Bag tutorial is really simple, inexpensive and perfect for kids to make. It’s a great excuse to sit down with your child this coming weekend and make together. With a few simple steps {making handprints & stuffing the giftbags} you too, can have something creative to hand out this year!

Supplies
* Orange Gift Bags
* Green Paint
* Cardstock
* Paint Brush
* Scissors
* Stapler
* Raffia {or ribbon}
* Items to stuff bags with

Directions:
* On cardstock, make as many green handprints as you need. I suggest one handprint per giftbag – but you can always do more. Set aside to let them dry completely.
* While the paint is drying, stuff your giftbags. Make the bottom really pop and the top narrow. {To give the look of a carrot in the ground} Tie off the bag with raffia or ribbon.
* Using scissors, trim out the handprints. Staple one handprint to the giftbag to make it look like a carrot.
