    Brown Bag Apple Gift Sacks

    Modified: Jun 7, 2025 · Published: Apr 30, 2011 by Brandy · This post may contain affiliate links.

    brown bags painted red to look like apples
     Last night I was browsing some blogs looking for something to add to our teacher's appreciation gifts. Maybe a unique way to wrap them or a little treat to make with them. I saw these on Skip to My Lou and immediately left the computer, grabbed 4 lunch bags, a can of red spray paint and headed outside. 10 minutes later I had 4  sacks, ready to turn into little apples...for FREE. I love them!!

     I made some cardstock tags and a little leaf and added our memo cubes, along with a candy bar for each bag.

    Now I think we are set. Dallin's school has themed days next week. Some are fun days like PJ day, Hat day, Sports Day, and the other two are "bring a flower for your teacher" and "make a homemade card for your teacher" days. It will be fun contributing to those days, but it's nice to have something homemade and creative for the boys to give their teachers and bus driver besides what is "required" to bring 🙂

      I love how quickly you were able to make these gifts happen! I was wondering from the picture how you got the red paint so smooth. Spray paint is the key! Thanks for sharing! I'm visiting from Finding Fabulous.
