A Winnie the Pooh fan is having a birthday, so I wanted to make a special gift bag for her. When I got this yellow L'Occitane bag, it's color screamed "Winnie"! Luckily, I had some Winnie the Pooh themed double sided card stock that I purchased from HM Ben Franklin Crafts. I cut the papers into 8x8 pieces and adhered them to the front and back of the bag.
I wanted to cover all the L'Occitane logos so I had to decorate the sides of the bag too. I had leftover paper and ribbon so I used those along with some dimensional Winnie the Pooh stickers.
The paper cord handles of the bag were rather plain and unattractive, so I ripped them out and replaced them with some printed satin ribbons....better looking and easier to hold.
Even the bottom of the bag had a logo so I had to cover that too. I used a funny Taylored Expressions stamp on a scrap of card stock to add some humor....hope she notices it!
Here is a better view of the other side of the bag that was decorated with another 8x8 cardstock, die cut words and sticker bees.. As a bee and honey lover, I can imagine myself as Winnie eating honey with a careful eye on the bees. Hmm-mm-m-m honey!

Whoa, you are quite the master at upcycling boxes and bags into creative, artsy gift and treasure holders! Handled store bags are hard to come by these days so giving them a second life is such a great idea!
This turned out super cute! What a great upcycle!
