How to make a last minute gift bag from a 12″ x 12″ piece of scrapbook paper.

It’s getting to be crunch time… Need a cute little gift bag?

This gift bag measures 4″ x 6′ and is made from one 12″ x 12″ piece of double sided

scrapbook paper. (The paper used on my bags are from Paper House Productions.)

How to make a last minute Gift Bag…

Cut paper to 8 ¼” x 11 ¾”.
Score the top of the paper ¾”.
Score the bottom of the paper 1 ½”.
Score the paper at ¾”, 4 ¾”, 5 ½”, 6 ¼”, 10 ¼” and 11″

Fold paper along score lines using mountain and valley folds.
Make cuts as indicated on the diagram below.
Fold over the top scored section to expose the reverse side of the double sided paper.
Glue the top 1/2″ scored section down first before assembling the rest of the bag.

Glue sides together and then glue bottom flaps.
Punch holes on the top of the newly assembled bag.
Cut white sheer ribbon in half. Insert into holes, tie not on the inside of the bag.
Embellish your bag with additional images and tag.
