My First Tutorial

As promised, here are the step-by-step instructions for the Gift Bag that I shared with you yesterday. I hope I've done this so you can figure how to make them. They really are very easy, and I'm sure once you make one, you'll have no problem making many more! Here goes ~

All you need is one sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper or Cardstock, and whatever you want to use to decorate your Gift Bag.

Score your 12x12 sheet of paper at 1", 3", 6", 8" and 11". From the bottom edge, score at 2".

Fold on all of your score marks. From the bottom, snip on all score marks up to the 2" score line, and cut out the two 1" corners.

Fold in the 1" sides and add Sticky Strip to one side. Adhere together by folding in half, forming rectangular bag. You will have the access 1" flap on inside of bag. Just press to one side.

Add Sticky Strip to inside of one of the larger flaps of bottom of bag. Fold in 2 smaller flaps first, then larger flaps, the one with Sticky Strip last.

Pinch top together closing with Library Clip or closure of your choice. Decorate as desired!

Here's a picture of today's finished bag. Now go have fun and create some adorable gift bags. Leave me a comment, I'd love to see what you come up with!
