Make a gift bag....

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday

This week I decided to do something different and had a go at making gift bags in readiness for 

Fathers Day

I've used a 12x12 sheet of green textured paper which is available from Lisa's shop on workshop days and a sheet of Kaisercraft 12x12 paper called Botanical from the Timeless Collection

I made a tag using Versafine ink pads and a sentiment stamp from the

 Hobby Art Old Crock clear stamp set 

I also used Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue as it grabs and sticks really well

Place your paper face down and fold back about 3"at the top

Then fold in the sides to meet in the middle and slightly overlap

Glue the edges together (or use sticky tape)

Fold the bottom up 2" or 3"

You can vary the height and depth of your bag by changing the size of your fold

Open and flatten the fold

Fold the top edge down and the bottom edge up to overlap a little, then 

glue and stick together (or use sticky tape)

Punch two holes at the top of the bag

Make a tag

 Cut two lengths of ribbon and thread the tag on to one

 Make handles by threading each end of the ribbon through the holes in the bag

  and make knots inside 

For a different look, use patterned paper

The sizes are approximately 

height 8"

width 5"

depth 2"

         
        
 

Have a great weekend
