Why not see how to create this quick and easy gift bag idea!

This sweet Hello Ladybug gift bag couldn’t be easier! It’s made with just one-half of a sheet of 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper and then embellished however you like.

Basic Box

Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (“DSP”): 11-1/2” x 6”. With long edge lined up at top of scoring tool, score at 1/2”, 2”, 6” and 7-1/2”; turn so short edge lines up with top of scoring tool and score at 1-1/2” along long edge (see diagram)

Gift Bag Assembly

 

1. Cut and score DSP as shown in the diagram. Fold away from all score lines.

2. Use Tear ‘n Tape or other strong adhesive to attach outside of the 1/2" flap to the inside of the opposite end of DSP, forming a rectangular shape.

3. Stand rectangle on open end with Flaps A thru D facing up. Fold down Flaps A and C; apply adhesive to outside of both flaps and then fold Flap D down to cover the adhesive. It’s helpful at this point to flip the bag around so it’s standing upright and use the rounded end of a bone folder to rub across Flaps A and B, making sure they are securely attached to Flap D.

4. Flip the bag back around to the upside-down position and adhere Flap B over Flap D. That’s it! The basic gift bag is complete!
