Sweet Gift Bags

Hi everyone, I've been creating some some cute gift bags and you only need one sheet of double sided paper.

Double sided pattern papers such as those from Maja Designs are perfect for these gift bags because the papers are sturdy and will hold up to scoring, cutting and folding.

Step 1

Cut pattern paper 8" x 12".

Place the long edge along the Scor-Pal, score at  5", 6", 7".

This creates the base of the bag.

Step 2
Rotate and score at 1" and 7" creating the sides of the bag.
Cut in 1" along the scored lines at the bottom and remove this piece on both sides.
Accordian fold along the scored lines for the base.

Step 3

Fold along the 1" and 7" scored lines

Step 4
Place Scor-Tape along the sides and assemble the bag.

Step 5

Create a tag from the left over pattern paper.

Add a stamped sentiment on top and tie to the handles with May Arts Sheer White Ribbon.  I used Stamping Bella's Paulie has a Prezzie.

This paper is from the Vintage Baby collection.

 Next, I've created a more rounded bag.

To create the more rounded bag, follow steps 1 and 2.

Step 3

Add Scor-Tape along the edges of the sides.

Gently roll the paper to align the sides creating the rounded effect

Step 4

Create a tag from the left over pattern paper.

Add a stamped sentiment on top and tie to the handles with May Arts Sheer white Ribbon.

This paper is from Maja Design's Summer Crush collection - Meet her at the dance.

Think of all the fun bags you can create with your double sided papers.

Thanks for stopping by today.
