Thursday Top Tips

 We have a fantastic gift bag tutorial for you today all the way from the US of A by Renee . It's absolutely great for all those difficult to wrap gifts - in my case anything that isn't square!!!???!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 You will need a gift bag, mine was 8x10x4, large and small images, card stock and scrapbook paper  a good adheasive, paper cutter and scorer, hole punch, string.

 I took and measured my gift bag top and side when open.  Then I added and inch each measurement in order to give you that over hang.

 After cutting out to the size, score 1 inch all sides. Cut one of the score lines at the end on all 4 corners .

 Cut coordinating papers for the top and the edges. stick on.

 Punch holes in 2 inches from the edge.on both sides. And about a 1/4 of an inch up from the scored line.

 put in cutter and cut down from hole to hole, making a slit. Glue edges together to make the topper

   Slide on top through the handles. I colored up TEDDYBO_112 and typed out a saying in word and added to the front of the bag with matching papers. I made a matching gift card that says , To, and From on the inside, and hung it from the handle with string. Added matching ribbon to the handle.

This really is a cute way to dress up a bag! so fun! Give it a try!
