Another Gift Bag

This Little Bag was pretty easy to make once you have your measurements sorted out. All depending on the size of the little jar or baggy you want to use for inside, is what deturmines the measurements.

1. You take 2 pieces of paper and make them the same size for instance mine were 20cm in length by 8cm wide. I then scored them at 4.5cm, 13.5 and 16cm. Should look like this! The left hand side is the TOP of your bag an the right is the bottom of your bag.
The Bottom end of your bag is where we place either your double sided tape or glue! Then you grab your other length of paper and stick it on there to make the base of your bag!
(so you have a double layer effect to hold you goodies)


Like this ....

Once you have done that, take another strip of card to make the little do-dad that will hold your goodies in! My strip was 22cm. Score this at 3cm, 7cm, 15cm and 19cm to make it look like so...
Place your glue/double sided tape on the two shorter ends as shown here ...

Then place them on one side of your bag! to make a little bracket type thing! I'm so good with words huh!!! A little advice, if you are wanting to decorate this strip do it BEFORE you stick it on! It can be a tad fiddley!

Place your little jar or baggy of goodness in like so...

And bring the other side of the bag up, punch 2 holes in the top and thread some ribbon or string through to tie it all up! Make a little decoration for the front and you got yourself a funky lil bag!
Remember that this is just a rough guide to what I did. It all depends on how wide your jar is or if using a baggy it doesn't have to be a very wide strip that you cut! Have a go, its not too daunting and it makes more sense when you do it yourself!

Products: Stampin up Circle and Scallop Punch, Ribbon, Kaiser Paper " The Lone Ranger" from Stary Night, Black Ink square.

This HERE is where I got the idea from.
