Small Gift Bag Project


We made this little gift bag during the IRW convention in early March. It's quick to make and looks good too! It was designed by Chrstina Klauer of IRW.

Supplies:
1 sheet 12x12 cardstock (reversible)
1 flower
1 brad
34" ribbon
  1. Cut the paper into 2 pieces, sized at: (a) 8.5 x 11 (b) 3.5 x 11
  2. Score paper (a) 1 1/4" vertically
  3. Score paper (a) 4 1/2" from each end horizontally
  4. Score paper (b) 4 1/2" from each end
  5. Fold and cut in at 4 1/2" score marks to the 1 1/4" line to create flaps
  6. Place patterned paper in center of bag and adhere (align scores)
  7. Adhere sides of bag together
  8. Cut ribbon into 2 17" lengths
  9. Attach ribbon to bag using adhesive; Repeat on other side
  10. Add flower with brad (you may want to place a hole in the bag first!)

Have Fun! I plan to make alot of these for all the earrings that I make!
