5 Minute Friday: Printable Thanksgiving Leftover Bags
Welcome to 5 Minute Friday. This is a weekly post where we share quick tips, projects, and recipes that can all be completed in 5 minutes or less! The topic this week is Printable Thanksgiving Leftover Bags.
It’s mid-November and we are quickly approaching my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. Turkey, corn, mashed-potatoes, cranberry salad and pumpkin pie! Yum! With all of that delicious food there is bound to be mounds of leftovers. Now, only if you had cute bags to send some of that food home with your holiday guests…Oh wait you can! Just follow this super easy tutorial and you will be all set.
Supplies
– Paper Bags- the plain old brown lunch ones work great
– Printer- I have an inkjet and these bags turned out awesome! Results may vary with a laser printer.Ready! Here we go!
Step 1:
Place your brown paper bag against a plain piece of computer paper in your printer so the ink prints on the same side as the flap. There is a seam down the non-flap side of the bag that makes printing difficult if you try using it.
Step 2:
Print one at a time. The plain computer paper will feed through with your bag. And that’s it!
Super easy, right?

Decoupage Pumpkin
Last weekend while visiting my in-laws, my mother-in-law shared a project that she had been working on with my husband’s aunt. They had taken pretty, floral patterned, paper napkins and mod-podged them onto artificial pumpkins. They were so beautiful! I was inspired to do the same, except I really wanted to see what Halloween napkins would look like. Without further ado, here is how I made my decoupage pumpkin.
Supplies1 Artificial Pumpkin
Mod-Podge
Paint Brush or Spouncer
Paper Napkins in Assorted Designs
Scissors
Acrylic Paint- Brown or Black (optional)
1st – With scissors, I cut out a few fun Halloween shapes from the paper napkins. (I really like that big spider.)
2nd – I painted the backs of the fall shapes with mod-podge and stuck them to the pumpkin and applied more mod-podge on top.
3rd – To add the finishing touches, I mixed up a variety of acrylic paints (I didn’t have straight-up brown or black.) and painted the stem of the pumpkin to darken it a little. My mixture possessed a brown/black swirly look.
What do you think? Simple, right? I love how it turned out. The perfect fall/ Halloween decor.
Your possibilities are pretty endless here. So grab some of your favorite patterned paper napkins and a couple artificial pumpkins and get to work! We’d love to see your designs!
