How to Make
1.Score the paper at 1cm, 2.5cm, 4cm, 14cm, 15.5cm, 17cm and 27cm. Cut all along the 27cm score line and remove the spare paper. Turn the paper at a 90 degree angle and score again at 6cm, 20cm and 23cm and cut all the way along the 23cm score line.
2. With your paper facing landscape, cut 3cm along the vertical 4cm, 14cm and 17cm lines from the bottom of the template to meet the score line running horizontally. On the top of the template, cut along the vertical score line at 5cm and again at 14cm and cut away the paper to leave a flap of paper which will later form the lid of the gift bag.
3.Adhere tape to the printed side of the 1cm fold and fix this to the opposite side of the bag, forming the bag shape as you go.
4.Fold the paper that will form the lid of the bag into a triangle shape and secure the triangular folds with Perma-Fix tape.
5.Attach one of the free printable tags to your box and secure. We chose a decorative bulldog clip to secure our box lid into place, but you could adhere this temporarily with washi tape.
You now have your finished gift bag ready to fill with festive treats!
You could also simply thread ribbon or twine through the tags and attach them to gift boxes for a fun, festive addition to presents!
