Figure A Figure B Figure C Q : I'm a big gift giver, but even the coolest wrapping paper gets boring after a while. I'm creative and would love suggestions on new gift-wrapping ideas. A : (Debbie Stapley, Ask DIY Crafts expert) There are lots of creative ideas out there, from a new take on tissue paper to a way to wrap a present like a piece of candy. Just follow these directions. Materials for Tie-Dye Tissue Paper: Tissue paper Eyedroppers Food coloring in several colors Cookie sheet Place to hang wet tissue Materials for Designer Lunch Sack: Brown paper sacks Stencils (optional) Fabric scraps Paper-backed adhesive Hole punch Ribbon or raffia Iron Dimensional paint Materials for Hard-Candy Look: Solid wrapping paper Cellophane Various ribbon sizes for candy-wrapper stripes Double-stick tape Materials for Chocolate-Kiss Look: Paper plate Tinfoil Slip of white paper Tie-Dye Tissue Paper : Cover your work surface with old newspapers so that you don't get food coloring all over. Set a folded piece of tissue paper on a cookie sheet. "Paint" the paper by dripping streaks of food coloring from eyedroppers, using a new dropper for each shade ( figure A ). Hang the paper to dry, clothesline-style. Designer Lunch Sack : Use stencils to draw a pattern on the paper side of some paper-backed adhesive ( figure B ), or do it freehand. Iron the adhesive patterns on the back side of the fabric scraps you plan to use, and then trim the fabric to the pattern of the adhesive. Peel off the adhesive paper to reveal the sticky side of the fabric, and then center the fabric cutout on the paper bag. Iron the fabric in place with an iron set on medium -- it takes about five seconds to set. If you like, use dimensional paint to add faux "stitches" around the fabric edges. Also punch two holes in the top of the bag, front and back, so you can thread some ribbon or raffia through to tie in a bow. This looks pretty and will also keep the bag closed. Hard-Candy Wrapper : Wrap the gift in a cylinder shape with plain paper. Using clear tape and ribbon, add some stripes of different widths to the package ( figure C ). Wrap the striped package with clear cellophane, tying the ends hard-candy-style with more ribbon. Chocolate-Kiss Wrapping : Set the gift on an inexpensive paper plate. Set the plate on a sheet of aluminum foil, and then draw the sides up and squeeze them together at the top, so they look like a chocolate kiss. Before you squeeze the top closed, slip in a paper label (like the ones on Hershey's kisses) to serve as the gift tag. More questions for Debbie: Q : I love the way gift bags look when I buy them in stores, but when I make them at home they seem flat and a bit empty. What's the secret? A : If your gift doesn't fill the bag, make it look fuller by wadding up paper or tissue paper in the bottom of the bag. To fill out the top of an open bag, grasp a piece of tissue paper in the center and smooth the ends down a little bit to form a loose cone shape. Then upend it and put it into the bag. You may need several pieces of tissue paper to fill out the top of the bag. Q : I'm giving my sister a camera lens for her birthday, and I'm looking for a unique way to wrap it. Any ideas? A : Why not wrap it in a decorative photo box? That way, the wrapping becomes part of the gift. Q : My bridge club gives gifts, and there's a competition among the ladies to make the gifts stand out. What can I do to win the contest? A : Buy a pretty scarf and wrap the box in it -- tying the four corners knapsack-style.

Anyone you give these cute cookie bags to will delight in the gift and the thoughtfulness that you put into them. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 1 piece of cute fabric A recipe for you favorite cookies The dry ingredients to this cookie recipe A plastic zip baggie Rubber band Decorative ribbon A cute Christmas themed cookie cutter (optional) Remember that the first rule in crafting projects is that there is no right or wrong way to do things. You can create these cute cookie bags, adding your own personal touches and quirks. Be creative and have fun! TO GET STARTED: Once you have decided on the cookie recipe you will using, you may want to type it up on your computer or hand write it on a cute recipe card, since you will be attaching a copy of the recipe to the cookie bag itself. Gather all of the dry ingredients that are required for the particular recipe that you have chosen to use. When adding the ingredients into the zip bag, carefully measure according to the recipe and place each ingredient into the zip-top bag NOTE: You can also use a mason jar or other decorative jar to put the recipe ingredients into. if you choose to use a jar, a cute twist is to layer the ingredients into the jar in colorful rows. This looks really cute once you have added all of the ingredients into the jar. You should now have all of the ingredients measured and placed into the container you will be wrapping up. Place your piece of fabric around the bag or jar and gather it at the top. (you will probably need to get a large piece of fabric and then trim the excess from the top) Once you have the fabric wrapped around the cookie ingredients, tie the top first with a rubber band-to insure it will stay put-and then decorate with ribbon or colored string. Attach the recipe to the bag. You can use a hole punch and punch a hole in the card, string some ribbon through it and attach to the top. For an extra fun addition to this already adorable gift, add a cute Christmas shaped cookie cutter and tie it on as you secure the top. Thats all there is to it! And the best part-no wrapping! It is already as cute as it can be, why hide it in a gift bag? ADDITIONAL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS: You can use recipes for cakes, brownies practically anything! Just be sure to include the recipe so the gift recipient knows what wet ingredients to add. If you dont choose to add a cookie cutter, how about attaching jingle bells for a festive addition to the package! Make a gift Bakers basket! Create the cute cookie bag then add cookie cutters, cupcake tins and papers, measuring utensils and any other things that will help with making these delicious confections.
