Hi it is Christine here today with a festive gift bag, easily and speedily made from an all purpose kraft bag and with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.
Firstly I selected the bag and cut a piece of Basic Grey – 25th and Pine paper slightly smaller than the front and fixed it in place with MyStik® Permanent Strips.
Using Classic Scallop die from Spellbinders I cut a double scalloped decorative strip, a star and cut a thin strip of kraft card.
I then chose one of the large hearts from 3D Foam Hearts, placed it onto a piece of patterned paper and carefully cut around – it is so useful that you have a variety of sizes.
To affix the star I used 3D Foam Squares – White Regular.
The finished gift bag and some close up shots.
You can easily punch a small hole in the 3D Foam Hearts to thread through twine and add a charm.
It would look good in a variety of festive colors.
Suitable for either a male or female gift and extra special for Christmastime.
Thank you for joining me today, happy crafting!
