Gift Bag Tutorial

Hi there!

Here is the tutorial I did showing you how I made the gift bag for the Spellbinders Blog Hop using their Labels 23 Grand Die.

You can make this bag and decorate it for any occasion and it's pretty simple to put together!  I put together a little picture tutorial to show you how I did it...sorry I don't have a video camera...yet!

1. I started with the largest die from Labels 23 Grand Dies and cut it with Soft Suede Cardstock.

2. On the wrong side of the die cut, score edge to edge as follows: on the short side score down the outside scallop on each side, then on the long side score down either side of the center scallop.  Use picture as a guide.

3. On long side of die cut, cut score lines from outside to where the lines meet score lines from short side.

4. Score 2 corner flaps on one of the long sides 7/8" in from outside edge.

5. Turn die cut over and fold score lines, then snip off the outside corners of the 4 flaps (so they don't show when folded up)
.

 

6. Use Scor-tape to adhere folded flaps together.

7.Turn over to right side and add Scor-tape to the middle flaps.

8. Turn over and adhere to unfolded sides.  Add Scor-Tape to inside of folded sides.

9. Adhere to outside to complete bag.  The finished bag measures 3" x 1 3/4" and is 3" tall.

Here's a view of my project from above:

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and have fun making these!

Blessings!
