Hi everyone! It’s Tuesday and we are here with another tutorial, this time a fancy gift bag! Gift bags are a great alternative to gift wrapping, especially if your gift does not come with a box or it’s an odd shaped gift. They are also great for small soft toys and other difficult to wrap gifts!
You can make this bag from Card stock, Handmade paper or Mulberry paper. Due to their flexibility and unique look, Handmade papers or Mulberry papers are better choices.
Supplies Required:
- A sheet of Cardstock / Handmade Paper/ Mulberry Paper
- Eyelets
- Ribbon / Cord / Twine
- Mulberry Flowers
- Chipboard Flourishes
Tools Required:
Method:
Cut your Card stock to measure approximately 30cm x 42cm. |
30cm x 42cm is the approximately the size of A3 paper. However, you can use different dimensions if you want. For this project a rectangular paper will work well, preferably with an approximate ratio of 1.5 (Length should be roughly 1.5 times the width). A4, A3 sizes will also work well. The height of the bag will be about 2-3 inches less than the width.
Fold the card stock on the middle score line and punch two holes using an eyelet tool or the hole punch on the top and bottom layer. The eyelets should be more than 1.5” away from the side edges. |
Apply glue on the 0.5” edge which you folded in the first step. Fold the sheet over and stick it onto the folded flap as shown in the image above. Let the glue dry before the next step. |
Glue and close the bottom flaps as shown.
|
Glue the chipboard flourishes to the bag and then glue the beautiful mulberry flowers. |
Note: Scoring is very important when working with paper folding. This is how you get a neat, professional looking finish.
