Any way to dress up brown paper bags, my kids are giving their shalach manos in?
It's no theme, just a juice box, candy and hamantashen inside.

color a hamentash on the bag ... or just a cute label to print the kids name that has a purim theme ... I know some are made right here in town - and proceeds go to tzedaka/school ...

Thank you, thank you!
I was inspired enough to decorate paper bags as shalach manos containers! I used Plonis's idea of using construction paper.
Now I don't need to buy any! Very Happy

(I'm attaching scans of some of my bags so I can brag, and I'm too lazy to cover up the name, so I'm being amother)

I meant they are beautiful, and she must have a lot of free time to make such lovely, cut out bags.

they came out adorable ...

what does free time have to do with creativity ... mothers push no time - and make the impossible come to be ...

I don't know if you have boys/ girls, but I saw something cute at an upsherin- on each of the bottom corners of the bag, make a hole punch. Attach strings to look like tzitzis and draw black and white lines with crayons...very cute!

You can also do a girls version - attach buttons and make it look like a blouse/dress...

Very cute! Must have taken you forever. Did you have little "helpers" to contend with while you worked?
