Gift Bag

Why do I have a picture of a gift bag? Surely it’s not because I ran out of art and wanted to use something as filler. Surely not!

I was lucky enough to receive a gift card, and it came in a bag much like this.  The bag intrigued me, so I took it apart and made a template so I could re-create it.  A piece of scrapbooking paper is large enough for the base, and I just got a few pads of nice 12″ x12″ paper with designs on both sides.

I’m still working on the folding. My templates aren’t completely accurate, and I had to adjust the folds to get them to sit better. It’s the perfect size to hold a few tiny smiley balls.
