Saw these stinkin’ cute gift bags on Pinterest, thought, “Hey I could do that.” Famous last words. And even I knew these were probably not as easy and cute as they looked, so I opted for doing a test run with supplies I already had in my house: namely, a Williams-Sonoma bag and not-at-all-Christmas-colored yarn.

Pencil the design.
And begin poking holes. Now this is an old bag, it’s true, but it is a sturdy bag, so I was not expecting the amount of wrinkling that occurred. (Yes, we are still talking about a Williams-Sonoma bag, not a 30-something blogger, thankyou.)
Begin embroidering. Now, guys. When you stick things in the holes of old bags, sturdy though those old bags may be, the holes tend to… uh… stretch a little. Maybe even tear. Eeek. And I was not being careful and, indeed, ripped a hole.
I still finished, though, because what’s a ripped hole when you have the end in sight, hm? (I just grossed myself out.)
