Upcycled Easter Gift Bag – Free Templates Included!

How to make last minute Easter gift bags or Easter baskets from upcycled brown paper bags

Most often I start making DIY gifts + their gift wrapping super last-minute. Last year I’ve whipped up these upcycled Easter gift bags for my god-daughter and her sister literally minutes before I needed to leave the house for our Easter get together.

Being a super efficient person, I never want to make things twice if I don’t have to. So I mostly take the extra minute or two to document the production process for you and risk arriving late to the party.

Come, join my tribe:

No spam, guaranteed!

Interested what DIY gift ideas or crafts kept me from being on time so far?  It happened for example HERE and HERE and even to a friend’s wedding – the tutorial is not up yet.

My family and friends have gotten used to this quirk over the years, lol.

So obviously this Easter craft tutorial is perfect for Megan’s monthly Craft Room De-Stash Challenge, don’t you think?

How to DIY last-minute Upcycled Easter Bunny Gift Bags

Prep-Work

Creating the Design

  • Using a black Sharpie marker, trace the bunny shape and some easter eggs onto one side of a Brown Kraft Paper Bag. If you make several you can mix things up by flipping the bunny template over, adding some markings to your bunnies fur, and giving the Easter eggs a different design pattern.
  • Don’t forget to draw your little bunny a happy face (see photo above).
  • Add a little note or the recipient’s name.

Lastly, it’s time to decorate!

The girls were decorating the curtains in their rooms with those flower pegs later on and played shopping with the paper bags. #love

How to Make your DIY extra Fancy

If you want to spruce up your Easter gift idea & make it extra special, why not write a little note on it in German?! Either on this gift bag or a Handmade Card.

  • Happy Easter! >> Frohe Ostern!
  • Easter Bunny >> Osterhase
  • Yummy Easter Eggs >> Leckere Ostereier

Let me know if I can add to this list for you. I would be more than happy to do so!

  1. How fun! I love adding the flowers to give the bag some dimension. It’s always great to use what we have. Pinning to my Easter board.

    1. Thank you for the share, Beverly. Yeah, I like working with my ever growing stash. But I also love buying craft supplies without having a project in mind. Lol.

  2. These are too cute, Habiba! And the idea can be used for just about any holiday or special occasion just by changing up the graphics and accessories!

    1. Yep! I bought the paper bags for Christmas but didn’t take quality photos back then. Glad you like them.

  3. Your gift bags are absolutely adorable! I love rabbits! Thank you for the templates. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

    1. That is what I like the most, too, Donna! This way my time was not wasted for only a gift wrapping but gave them also a little play fun.

  4. What fun! We gave up on baskets years ago and use beach buckets for Easter treats now, and use them year after year, lol
