Hi dear all,

today I would like to show you step by step, how to make a small gift bag. I found the idea over at the Splitcoaststampers and I think, this bag is a lovely gift for a loved one, because it´s quite quickly and really simple to prepare.

What you need:
- Scor-Pal board
- one peace of patterned paper 12" x 12"
- double sided adhesive tape
- eyelets or brads
- scissors
- eyelet tool
- ribbon

 

 

Then fold the paper at the scored lines and fixed it with double sided adhesive tape.

Now turn the paper 90 degrees and score at 3 1/2" and 8 1/2 ". Fold the paper on the scored lines again ...

... and adhere the folded pages overlapped to a flat tube.

Score now at 4,5", 5" and 5,5" and make sure that the outside is pointing to the top. Then fold the paper first in the middle.

 

Then fold the paper on the scored lines, first to the left and finally to the right. Now the outside of the paper should be again upside down.

Now stuck a small piece of douple sided adhesive tape in the middle at the top of one page and glue the bag together. It should now be able to stand on its own.

At this point you have almost managed it ...now you only have to fix the eyelets with the eyelet tool and pull the ribbon through the eyelets. You can also use some brads, who just pushed through the ribbon and the paper.

My ribbons are about 30 cm long and for a great finish I fixed some 2-3 cm wide piece of double sided adhesive tape at the end of each ribbon and stick it together.

The bag is now finished and can be decorated to your heart´s content just as you like.
