Holiday Gift Bag

I just love it when a plan comes together! I am hosting a Bag, Tag & Box Class at my home this Saturday. This is one of the gift bags we will be making. 

I had been thinking about doing one with black, neutrals & glittery silver and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. This was made using an ordinary lunch sack. I went through my scraps to find pieces for this one! I tend to not throw anything away, because you never know when you might need a small bit of this or that for a project. The star was cut from a piece of cardboard that I deconstructed a bit. If you look close, you can tell I used the new little stapler all over this project. By the way, I have found that Fast Fuze is a quick, good adhesive to use when adhering cardstock to these bags.

Brown Paper (Gift Bag)

I truly love brown paper. Give me a brown paper bag or a piece of that brown paper on a roll and I am in heaven. I have made many things over the years with brown paper, but this little project is one of my favorites. 




 How cute is this?? The little band slips right off so you can fill the bag up. 



I cut the top off of a brown lunch bag, leaving it 6 inches tall. The  striped DSP is 6 inches by the width of the bag. ( my bag was about 5 inches wide) I used Snail to attach it to the front of the bag. The back piece is 9 inches by the width of the bag, scored at 3 inches. (this gives you the flap) Use Snail to attach the paper to the back of the bag. Create a band that will fit down over the bag when it is closed and add embellishments, tags, buttons...let your imagination run wild. 


Fill it up with your favorite craft supplies for a friend. 



Even looks good from the back!



This is very simple to make, but does make a statement. The materials I used in addition to the brown paper bag are listed below.
