Powder Pink Fresh Florals Gift Bag

Instead of a card today I am showing how you can use the 12 x 12 inches Designer Series Paper to make a large gift bag. The final dimensions are W12 x H10 x D5 inches. For this bag you can use any DSP and cardstock that is suitable for you but this tutorial I will explain what I have used.

Cardstock

Powder Pink – 2 pieces measuring 12 x 6 inches; score at ½ inch on each long side and as 2 inches on one short side (side pieces of bag)

Powder Pink – 1 piece measuring 12 x 6 inches; score at ½ on each long side (bottom piece of bag)

DSP

Powder Pink Fresh Florals (large floral print used for the bag made) 2 pieces measuring 12 x 12 inches; score at 2 inches on one side

Putting the bag together

Using the powder pink bottom piece cardstock adhere tear and tape along the edge of scored line on each long side (do not go inside the scored lines – if you do when pealing off the protective layer roll the sticky piece back on itself)
Adhere the bottom piece of cardstock to each piece of the DSP along the opposite side to the score line
Using the side pieces of cardstock cut away the small side rectangles on each of the side pieces; at the same time slightly mitre the sides of the 2 x 5 inches rectangle and slightly mitre the top and bottom of the I/2 inch side sections
Adhere tear and tape along each long side of the sides pieces of cardstock
Adhere tear and tape (or liquid glue) to the 2 x 5 inches rectangle (this secures the side pieces to the bottom of the bag)
Remove the protective layer and carefully adhere to each side of the bag
Remove the protective layer (or if using liquid glue) carefully adhere to the inside of the bottom of the bag
Adhere tear and tape along the score line of each piece of DSP and along the long edge of the DSP
Remove the non stick layer of tear and tape and carefully fold and stick to the inside of the bag
Using a hole punch make two holes at the top of the bag on each side
Thread your chosen ribbon though and tie off
Bag is now complete

N.B. If you want to add a gift tag to your bag and attach to the bag make sure you thread the ribbon through before tying off (I did not use a gift tag as there was a card inside the gift bag)

Hope you enjoy making your version of this card, thank you for looking
