How do you make those sometimes impersonal gifts extra special? Well, it's all in the wrapping with these Personalized Holiday Gift Bags. All made in just 30 minutes!

Here's what you need to create Christmas Gift Bags for the Holidays:
- Joy® Iron-on Embroidered Letters – Gold Metallic, Script Initials, Baby Monogram, Letter Shop, Large Monograms
- Fabric Gift Bags – these Fabric Bags would make a great substitute!
- Craft Iron and Ironing Board or Ironing Pad
STEP ONE
Gather some pretty simple supplies – a variety of Joy® Iron-on Embroidered Letters, mini fabric gift bags and stockings (I found mine at the Target dollar spot) and an Iron with Ironing Board.
STEP TWO
For the striped gift bag, color the Joy® Classic Monograms with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen. Once dry, iron on to the fabric gift bag according to package directions.
STEP THREE
On the red stocking, add a Joy® Circle Monogram in white with a craft iron. I use a craft iron, but a traditional iron would work as well. Just use a pressing cloth and make sure that the steam setting is off.
STEP FOUR
For my friend who is deployed overseas, the red and white gingham stocking was perfect with the patriotic USA in Joy® peel and stick letters in royal blue.
STEP FIVE
Mix and match the rest of the gift bags with my favorite Joy® Iron-on Embroidered Letters and Monograms. Apply with an iron according to the directions on the back of the package.
