Let’s Make A Guest Bag!
By: Ruthie Tanner
Trader Joe’s and Central Market is my favorite place to purchase goodies. Marshall’s and TJMax have fun food items as well. Most people always enjoy water being included. So simple but water is something everyone definitely needs.
Place box containers in corners to enforce the shape and heavier items in first. Build with all other goodies, stacking and securing with glue dots when necessary. Glue dots can be purchased at Dollar tree or craft stores.
Including beautiful paper plates and napkins is important. I insert these items the last thing so they are on top. It’s also important to include a knife or spoon if there is a need for item in bag.
Gather the bag and secure with ribbon or jute.
Add a bow.
It could be completed at this point but adding tissue paper around the edge just gives another punch of color and makes it even more special for your guest.
With holidays not too far off - if you will have out of town guest EVEN IF IT’S FAMILY, consider placing a WELCOME basket in the room they will be calling theirs during the stay.
We all love receiving special unexpected things along life’s way so let’s do it for others.
Thanks for visiting Graceful Home
