Nothing says summer is over, and that we are moving into autumn more than sunflowers. The Native Americans used sunflowers in their end of summer festivals as they believed sunflowers symbolize bounty, the harvest season, and preparation for the coming winter months. Did you know that the sunflower will always grow facing the sun? That is how they got their name.

Sunflowers symbolize happiness, joy, and sunshine! Why not capture these sentiments when giving someone a personal gift? This sunflower gift bag is the perfect paper craft for portraying these feelings. Let someone know just how special they are to you and that they bring rays of sunshine into your life.

This gift bag has a rustic design and an easygoing feel to it. It would make a perfect favor or gift bag for a simple wedding or bridal shower. You could also use it for birthdays and those gifts that you give just because!
