Custom bags and bows
Paper used on the right: Holiday Treasures; left is Tangerine Tango DSP.
Gift bags are easy to make. The larger one (Tangerine Tango) is made from the 12 x 12 paper and scored on 3 sides at 1 3/4 and the top is scored at 2 1/4. This gives a bag measurement at approx 7 x 8 - a perfect size for a book. Remember to use matching ribbon and reinforce the bottom with sticky strip.
The Holiday Treasures bag is made with a 2 1/2" score using 12 x 12 paper. This bag is more stable with the matching bow and measures approx 7 x 7!
The little bag is made with 6" square paper and scored on 3 sides at 1 1/2 and the top folded at 1" - a perfect bag for jewelry.
These were done in the last Christmas project class. Everyone chose paper to their liking and made wonderful bags with matching bows.
A great customized gift ensemble!
