Use a mesh lemon bag to wrap a small gift or party favor.
To make this you will need a mesh lemon bag.
Tear off the paper label, but be sure to keep the original stitching in place – this is what keeps the bottom of the bag closed.
Choose your fabric for the trim – I used a paper fabric that I picked up at Joanns Fabric and Craft Stores. It's like a really thick paper towel.
Cut out a piece of fabric that is roughly the same size as the original label and fold it over the closed end of the bag. Using a glue gun, attach fabric.
Place your gift inside and close top with a plastic bread bag tag.
i save those bags & reuse at the store or farmers market, but i love this idea!!
Catie – that is a great idea – I’ve been thinking about a design for a bag that I could make for produce at the supermarket – I hate those plastic bags. This would be a great option – thanks for the idea! C
Yay! Love this, which is little surprise – I’ve enjoyed all of your ideas for gift wrapping so far. I tried something like this last year (http://www.thegiftedblog.com/2010/02/wrap-story-farm-fresh-gift-wrap.html), but I like how you added the patterned cloth on yours.
This is so genius! Thanks for sharing! I mean, sheesh… I can’t believe I’ve never even thought of this!
MORE THAN FANTASTIC IDEA!!!!!genius!
We always try to re-use our bags… produce bags are also great to act as a hammock to hold up heavy fruit in the garden.

I always accumulate the lemon ang orange bags, without knowing what to do with them.
I like this idea. Genious.
Thanks.
