Howdy! I wanted to share with you a new gift bag that I am making for my Craft Fairs this year. Typically, I add a decorative panel to a brown paper bag. But, I wanted to add a new dimension to my gift bags. So, I have added my decorative panel to a clear box, and made it a tote.
Recipe: The solid red card stock is Riding Hood Red card stock from Stampin' Up! It is retired for a few years now. But I just love the vintage faded red color. The pattern paper is 25th and Pine by Basic Grey. I matted the floral pattern paper onto a scrap piece of mint macaroon card stock by Stampin' Up!. I added a single border stitch with my sewing machine. The sentiment 'label' is actually cut from a sheet of pattern paper. I added some sweet blush stitched ribbon from Paper Trey Ink. I liked how this color of pink complimented the pink in the pattern papers. I attached the sentiment 'label' with a pair of antique pearl brads from recollections. And to add a little sparkle, I added a retro silver star mini ornament.
The clear boxes are 5" x 5", and 2" deep. I left the top flap in tack. That way, there is a way to 'close' the bag/tote so items don't fall out {smile}. At first, I was struggling a bit, with how to 'package' these clear box gift bags/totes. The clear boxes unfold, to lay flat. Ta Da! Now, all I have to do is slide these gift totes into a clear bag. I need to figure out a price. Don't fret, I will still have my typical paper gift bags {smile}. Thank you for stopping by, to see what I have been working on. Now, it's time to bleach some bottle brush trees!
