When I visited my friend we saw this little frog gift bag in a magazine and figured out how to make them. It only took us about 10 minutes in all and it's sooo cute!

Love the eyes! thumbup That's pretty adorable, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next time I need to gift someone something.

That is so cute! And it's true, a lot of stuff you see in the story like that are things you could actually make your self. Saves a lot of money on gift wrapping. I may do something like that next time I wrap a gift as that just looks so adorable!


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (6729)   ranked 3 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

And it was so easy! My little granddaughter loved it!

That looks really cute. I love to look at little things like that in craft magazines, but I never take the time to make them.

I love trying new things and these were just so cute. I gave a small gift to my granddaughter for her birthday and mama kept the bag. they were really easy once we figured them out!

It is a really cute bag. What materials did you use? It would be a good idea to use for a kid's birthday party since kids usually take something home from the party. You will probably sell those like crazy at your craft fairs. The eyes are adorable.

We used a 12x12 piece of card stock...green and stamped on the dots....just score it in a few places...used sticky tape and cut two big circles and added the eyes....it was quick and so cute. I only made one but am going to try to make some different ones from wall paper....maybe try to make different animals....they aren't very big but a good size for party favors.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (4439)   ranked 6 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

Yeah, party favors. Those were the 2 words I was searching for. Ok, had a brain fart tonight.

That is sooo cute! I just love all things frogs,(:. They are one of the things I have a little collection of.


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (6729)   ranked 3 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

I love frogs too..they are supposed to bring prosperity into your home! I have a ton of them in my landscaping...cute little buggers!

Very cute!!
Are you taking any to the craft sale.
They should sale well. Susan


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (6729)   ranked 3 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

I didn't take any of these with but made it for my little granddaughters birthday gift....I have bags I make for my little company that have hearts etc. all over them with my company name on them. Then I attach curly ribbon so if they buy something I have a pretty bag to put their purchase in like they would get at a store.....I get tons of comments when I put their stuff in cute bags. It makes them feel special.

Oh, what a cute little froggie bag! I can't exactly figure out how you made the fold-over on the top of the bag that becomes the mouth with the eyes on top. But it's so adorable! And 10 minutes, wow! May I call you Martha Stewart?

The top is just two circles....of different colors folded over the top of the bag....I am not Martha! LOL.....or I'd be living in a different house! LOL

wow..thats interesting and unique i guess..i wish i could learn to do that also...likes to have a variety of designs in making gift bags and not just the ordinary ones..


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (6729)   ranked 3 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

I am going to try some different ones using wallpaper. I have tons of the sample books so I want to use as much as I can.

You should try to sell them on ebay! Or on Mylot! It sounds like you are crafty


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (6729)   ranked 3 out of 1,069 in crafts  4 months ago

I might have to try doing that! They are so cute and easy to make!
