I recently ran to the dollar store to grab some gift wrap and spotted some of the cutest Christmas gift bags. These particular bags were designed to look like vintage Christmas signs, so I wondered, hey!

Maybe I can turn these into actual Christmas signs?

Finally, I inserted a large piece of cardboard into the back flap of the bag, taping it down to the back of the bag. This is probably the hardest part :P.
