How to Make a Christmas Door Hanger from a Gift Bag

You may already have these crafty Christmas shopping bag door hanger supplies on hand. Or, you may find yourself reaching for a box, placed at an unbelievably high height, of your holiday gift wrapping supplies as you teeter totter on a ladder in the garage store room. I guess this is what happens when the husband puts away the Christmas decorations!

Supplies:
– Christmas gift bag (I used one that was 10 x 12″)
– Variety of empty boxes (I scoured my house for boxes to wrap)
– Christmas wrapping paper
– Christmas tissue paper
– Assorted Christmas ribbon
– Scrapbook paper + marker


How to Turn a Gift Bag Into a Christmas Door Hanger

Once you’ve scoured your home for a variety of boxes, wrap each one (I did a total of four) in coordinating Christmas wrapping paper and/or tissue paper. Tie a couple with decorative ribbon.

I stuffed the bottom of the Christmas gift bag with some lightweight kitchen hand towels. (No one will ever know how you got those boxes to stand up!)

Arrange the wrapped boxes within the bag in a layout you like best. You may need to roll a piece of tape to the back of some boxes so they stay in place.

Insert a long piece of ribbon between the two gift bag handles. Use this ribbon to hold the gift bag upright and to secure to your door.

I sketched out a simple gift tag on some holiday scrapbook paper and wrote the phrase “Gone Shopping” on the gift tag. Make a hole punch at the top and insert a ribbon.

Or, buy something pre-made like these large blank gift tag hangers.

Find a visible place to tie the “Gone Shopping” tag onto the gift bag and secure with a bow. If desired, stuff some extra tissue paper around the sides of the gift bag.

  5. So inventive and so smart,adorable too. What a fun idea and so festive.
    Last year I used a gift bag I got at $tree with reindeer on it as decoration on our 1/2 wall between kitchen and living room. Just carefully cut them out ,strung together and had a decoration.
    Enjoyed it more due to being thrifty decoration. Your bag on door must get lots of cute comments,it should. To me is more fun to challenge myself to make something simple into something unexpected and cute. Loved your door decoration so much.
    Happy Sunday
