Gift Idea: DIY Grain Sack Gift Bags

Disclosure: This post is in partnership with Creative Bug. All opinions are obviously my own.

Mother’s Day is just a few days away and we are heading right into shower and wedding season! Which means, it’s time to start thinking about adorable gifts and gift wrap. Yesterday, I shared some fun DIY Handmade Soaps and today I’m showing you how to make the cute DIY Grain Sack Gift Bags.

DIY Grain Sack Gift Bags. So easy and super cute!

I found a great tutorial for these bags on CreativeBug . The site has over 500 instructional videos on various crafts including home decor, knitting, sewing, jewelry, food and kid’s crafts. Every time I visit their site I am instantly inspired by all of the creativity!

I thought these bags would make perfect Mother’s Day gift holders. They are super cute and made with love. Nothing better than giving a great gift in a great bag!

Supplies

  • French Grain Sack
  • Sewing Machine
  • White Thread
  • Straight Pins
  • Black Leather Scraps 

DIY Grain Sack Gift Bags - So Easy!

I picked up this French Grain Sack on Amazon for about $10. You can actually find a lot of different ones on there! First, I cut the piece down to 9″ wide and 18″ long. Then, I cut the graphic straight down the center to make 2 bags. I wanted a more abstract look so I was fine cutting the picture, but you can use the full one to make one large bag.

I loved Maya’s tutorial on how to make a square side, it was super super easy! I love it when I learn a new technique that is going to save me so much time!

DIY Grain Sack Gift Bags - Perfect for Mother's DayI always like a little bit of a rustic touch to my projects, So I did an exposed seam at the top of the bag and then added black leather scraps for the handles. You can buy a whole bag of scraps for about $15, I love pulling them out to use in various projects.

I really love these and  I might be making more for other gifts I have coming up.

    Loving these cute bags! And so different with the handles. The idea of giving classes is so smart, especially if you need a last minute gift. There’s this whole shift I have seen in people giving “experiences” versus things – LOVE IT!!

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
