Easy Gift Bag

I know I have been showing alot of Dies to cut and make projects.  Not everyone is lucky to have a Big Shot handy, so here is a easy bag using 1/2 a piece of Designer paper!  The finished Bag is 4 1/2 inches high, by 1 1/2 inch wide. 

Cut a 12X12 piece of Designer paper in half.  Score at 4 inches, 5 1/2 inches, 9 1/2 inches and 11 inches.  Turn paper and score at 4 1/2 the length of the paper.

Cut at the bottom short score lines up to the long score line.  This will allow the box bottom to be folded.

Add Sticky strip to the shortest side flap and one of the bottom flaps.

 

 

Adhere and form your bag.  Next squeeze in sides like a grocery bag and punch a handle.  I used the Large Oval Punch.  Tie with Cherry Cobbler tulle and decorate with glimmer paper, buttons, stamped images, anything your hear desires.  I chose to leave mine plain for now.  Here is another bag using the reverse side of this "Be Of Good Cheer" designer paper.

 

Quick easy and perfect for small gifts.
