Christmas gift altered container

Happy Saturday. Hope you enjoyed participating in the Handmade Holiday Blog hop that started yesterday. If you missed it or don't have a clue what I'm talking about, hop on over to the Glue Arts blog to check out the details.

Today I want to share with you how I altered this cute clear bag...

Christmas Gift Altered Container

this container originally housed some buttons. I love how cute, small and clear it is. I can include some small treats in it, add a gift card or even a beautiful jewelry set. The gift possiblities are endless! So here's how I made this super easy project...

1. I started off with measuring the front and back side of the bag. I had cut out pattern papers to measure abuot 1/4" smaller than my initial measurement. Then I added this paper to another pattern and then trimmed that with scallop edge scissors. I also added some machine stitching to the edges of both paper pieces. Then I added them to the bag using some extreme square adhesives.

2. then I used some letter stickers that came in the Webster's Pages collection kit that I was using for all three containers.

3. I also added some stickers to the back of the bag. I adhered the big butterfly sticker with some foam adhesive to give it more dimension.

4. then I added some flowers on the bag. I used some mini square adhesive to adhere the flowers.

5. After staring at this project for a few minutes, I felt like it needed some bow to it. So I added some red dot ribbon to the front of the bag.

Now it's all complete and ready to be filled with goodies and great Christmas gifts.
