A friend showed me a reusable grocery bag she bought at a bazaar which had a decorative fabric sewn to the front. I wonder if you could fuse it on without melting the bag.

I used a coupon to buy a pinking edge for my rotary cutter. Now I make my own "ribbon" from scraps!

I have so much fabric in my stash and lots of dish towels on which to applique, I'm going to take some of these clever suggestions and make my own this year. Love the idea of gifts within gifts also. You folks have got me in the spirit.

At the hardware store, you can buy a roll of brownish paper made for painters (they use it as a barrier with blue tape) which is very cheap and the roll is very long. It wraps up nice and you can add a great ribbon or stickers or let the kids draw on it.
