Step 7.) Decide which two papers will go inside the bag and glue a small rectangle to each one to use as a handle to pull it out of the bag.
TIP: These are the surprise gift elements of the card so place something fun inside like a “good for” coupon or a special picture for mom. You could even attach a gift card!
Step 8.) Slide those two papers inside the opening of the paper sack (that used to be the top of the bag)
