These can be made in advance and saved for when you need them. I’ve made different versions and personalized the accents depending on the recipient of the gift. Watch my short video tutorial here or at the bottom of this post.
Supplies Needed
Nashville Wraps has the best supply of top-quality wholesale cello bags. See all their clear cello bags and printed cello bags as well as custom printed labels. For this project, I used the following supplies:
- Hard Bottom Cello Bags
- Satin Ribbon
- Twist Ties
- Artificial Flowers
- Hot Glue Gun
Decorated Cello Bags Step-by-Step
1. Fold the ribbon into a two-loop bow.
2. Secure the bow with a hot glue gun and trim the tails to matching lengths, cutting them at a slight angle.
3. Snip the plastic stem from a fabric flower.
4. Attach the flower to the bow with a hot glue gun.
5. Add hot glue to the back of the bow and attach a twist tie.
6. Fill the cello bag with fresh-baked cookies or delicious treats and secure with your beautifully decorated twist tie.
Themed Decorated Cello Bags
Make themed gifts just by changing the accents, like these teacher gifts.
These gorgeous wedding-themed bags are embellished with costume jewelry using hard bottom cello and pre-tied satin bows. They make beautiful bridesmaid gifts when added to candy favor bags! Craft stores are a great resource for rhinestone jewelry, along with online companies like Totally Dazzled.
