How can I turn my other occasion-gift-bags to Christmas-gift-bags?

It is difficult to give you ideas without seeing them. But here goes. If they are plain then add decorated Christmas tags, ribbons, stick on embellishments to match the colour of the bag.

If they are obviously happy birthday bags, use wrapping paper to cover the bag.

Hi there! I agree with the idea above. You can cover the old sentiments with something new. You can either patch the parts that have obvious sentiments on them with old Christmas cards or pretty tissue paper. Here's a tutorial about making bags with paper...but you could modify the idea to use holiday scrapbook paper to cover what you need to. https://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/07/quick-easy-7x7-gift-bag-using-two-sheets-of-designer-series-paper-free-tutorial.html

My aunt use to decorate plain brown or white bags with old cards and cut-outs from old gift bags.. she would cut a pattern or if it were animals, hearts, flowers etc., she would cut those out and then glue them on to the plain bags. What made them special, “your gift bag” from her was always made from bags or cards you had given her!

Add cut outs from old christmas cards. NMow baby shower bags become a childs Christmas gift bag and so on

Hi Jan, if you have some mod podge or clear drying glue, you can decorate with some glitter or something similar. Or sparkly spray paint or paint little snowflakes, bells, snowmen, etc. with nail polish. Have fun!

On plain bags I would decorate with Christmas themed washi tape.

Another idea I used for some of my excess bags was as book covers for my daughter.

Hi Jan,

Add Stars and Baubles cut out from coloured paper and stick them on the bags.
