Hi, Kim here with a quick tutorial today. There are some
fabulous little gift bags and boxes on the Home For Christmas cd from
Polkadoodles, but I’d like to share how I make little gift bags from
envelopes. You could even make them with
used envelopes – great recycling!
I start with a C5 envelope (but you could try with all
different sizes), some backing papers, toppers, ribbon, a hole punch and an
edge punch
Seal down the envelope and then mark and score lines 1” from
the outer edge and 1½” from the bottom edge
Trim one of the shorter ends open and then use an edge punch
to add a fancy edge. Fold the central fold inwards and then fold the corners into the bottom of the bag - you may need to gently press the folds into place at the bottom!
Then decorate as you like with papers and toppers. I’ve also used the hole punch and added some
ribbon and a sentiment from the cd cut into a tag shape
I hope you have a go at making an envelope gift bag - ideal for making little treat bags for some Christmas sweets and chocolates!
I love your envelope bag tutorial. I used it today with a bit of tweaking. Here is my Treat Bag.
