Gift bag turned cute matted frame~
See this darling cute gift bag, my hunny had my Valentines in it. As much as I loved my Valentines (hubs included), I was very much in love with the gift bag. I new it was going to be used for some kind of makeover/diy/craft project… SHALL WE BEGIN…
Boring white matted frame meet your makeup ha! meet cute cut up paper bag. I used the velvet fuzzy side of the bag.
use the matting to trace out the new mat cover with your new paper/gift bag/cardstock, whatever you decide to use. Then cut it out.
the front of the gift bag is nice, its in that fuzz velvet texture, so it really made the picture seem so fancy and to me more expensive looking.
Then I just used a glue stick, and thoroughly covered the back of the design paper and placed it over the mat. I gave it a good rub and made sure it was all sealed down well. 3 min. project complete!
and finally all finished and put back together!
and lastly back in its rightful spot!
On this craft, diy project I am linking up with TatorTots and Jello for her Weekend Wrap up Party HERE! as well as FUNKY JUNK Interiors HERE!
also MY craft blog is still fairly new, I would love for you TO FOLLOW ME! really really love!!!
That is a great idea. I have so many bags that I love–then I just end up using them for other gifts. I am definately going to copy this one!!
Great idea! It looks really pretty there – and I love your hanging sign! Sounds like our family!
Way to recycle–very cute idea!
I have a Pottery Barn bag I’ve been saving for two years wanting to try this same project. But have I got around to it? Noooooo. But now I know it will work! Yoor new matte looks gorgeous!!
another great idea. Very cute.
Jen that is awesome. it looks like a real matte. Very cool and my mom would die for that frame. I love it too but it screams my mom. She loves that pattern and color scheme. Nice picture of your family too.

i LOVE it!! what a great idea, i get a lot of cute gift bags and want to save them (my packrat tendencies there) so this is a wonderful way to reuse them!!
