Video tutorial for making the bag and decorate it

Have a tutorial for making different gift tags ans here is the link,

Used a chipboard cut out from the collection in the center and some fussy cut left overs for decoration. 

If you don`t like to fussy cut there are many fun stickers in the collection to use.

Bow on the top for closure.

Also made an other more girly gift bag and here I just added a to - from  tag.

Think the paper is decorative enough so no need for more decorating.

Easy and fast :-)

Tutorial for the paper bag

1 12 x 12 paper. Sore at 1/2 on one side.

Turn around and score at 1 1/4 and 2 1/4

Turn to the top and score at 1

Fold in the 1/2 inch . Take on glue and fold over and glue together. Score down..

Then score at 1 on each side.

Fold up on the bottom at 2 1/4

Fold the sides in an angle to the score line.

Now it should look like this

Picture x

Fold out again and fold the sides in like show on the picture.

Fold in again the same way as picture x

Fold the sides in and score light.

Fold the top and bottom against each other and glue on the inside triangles and a bit on the top of the fold in.

Fold in the top and use a clip or punch some holes for ribbon closure.
