Hi there,
I needed a gift bag for some jewellery I'm giving to a friend and as I was using envelopes at the time I thought that I would have a go at making a bag from one of the C5 size envelopes.
THE TUTORIAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BAG IS UP ON MY YOU TUBE CHANNEL HERE
Here are the two styles that I came up with....one with a handle and one with a ribbon closure.
Of course you can decorate it in any way you wish but here is a list of the products I used.
On both bags I used the following...
Dovecraft back to basics christmas (love the vintage colours)
Distress ink - vintage photo to edge all round
Bag one - with handle.
Crafty Individuals stamp C1 - 211 (this is sooo beautiful)
Sizzix TH holly branch die (painted with crackle paint to give texture and edged with antique white acrylic paint.
Sizzix tattered pine cone- foliage only
Sizzix embossing folder for the sentiment.
Bag two - ribbon closure.
Crafty Individuals stamp C1 -142 for the sentiment (so vintage- love it)
Printed image from Crafty Individuals book Minitures 'Merry Christmas' (has 166 fabulous images to use on your christmas projects).
Sizzix tattered pinecone die
Spellbinders Anitque frame and accents die
punches for the circle and scalloped circle.
