This is designed as a holiday gift bag, but you can use the template and instructions to create the bag for any occasion!!!  This bag is created using the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper from the Holiday Mini catalog, striped grosgrain Chocolate Chip ribbon, Clear Rhinestone brad, and a large felt Snowflake from the Clearance Rack!

 

Here’s how to make it. Lots of steps but it is easier than it looks!

Start with selecting what paper you’d like to use and then cut

  • One piece at 9 x 12.
  • One piece at 3 x 7.
  • One piece at 3 x 9.

Instructions

  1. Score the 9 x 12 piece at the 1, 2, 7 and 8 inch marks.
  2. Rotate and score at 5 and 7 inch marks.
  3. Cut the score marks at the 5 and 7 marks (see image).

     

  4. Use SNAIL adhesive or Sticky Tape to the inside of the flaps to begin building/folding the box together.


     

  5. Complete the box.


     

  6. Then using the 3 x 7, score at the 1 and 6 inch mark and then rotate and score at 1-1/2. 
  7. Then use the 3 x 9, score at the 1, 2, 7 and 8 inch marks, rotate and score at 1-1/2.
  8. Cut triangles as shown here — used to fold along the top (also shown here).

Other Ideas

  • Stamp on the paper (before assembling), such as using Baroque Motifs or other swirl-type of stamp set and then a dark ink like Chocolate Chip.
  • Use other embellishments to decorate the bag.
