TUESDAY CLASS

CIRCLE HANDLE GIFT BAG

                

The best adhesive to assemble these bag are the Tombow multi-purpose glue, it gives you the time to adjust the bag so it is straight.  

CARD PIECES

2 piece of 7 x 6 inches

score at 1¼ on 3 sides and  7″ at the top we do not score it is the handle side at the top. 

Snip out the bottom 2 squares on one piece of card and slash into the middle to male a thin wedge off the end edges so fits neatly into the other one when adhered to make the bag (this makes it fit easier and is not bulky when layers are glued).

DSP

2 of 4¼ x 4½ inches

Butterfly is punched out of the Sale-a-bration free DSP pack but could easily be a stamped image from one of your favourite stamp sets.

GREETING

This is stamped and punched out of 1 3/8 and 1 ¼ circle punches I used 2 different ink colours and a background stamp to make tag with a greeting on the top.  You can use different greetings depending what it is to be used for.

HANDLE

This is made with the circle framelets 2-7/8 and 2-3/8.

The easy way to cut the handle is nest both size together and cut the card stock. You will need 2 handle for each bag.   The 2-3/8 is the one that you will use for the opening on the bag. Each handle use 2 piece of 3¼ x 3¼ cardstock or silver foil then use the 2 3/8 smaller circle to cut the top of the bag so you have the space to adhere the handles.  (The above measurements are for the green bag.  There are other sizes available to make if you check out Frenchie on youtube which is where I cased this pattern from)

 All items used are from the current catalogue but can be used with any card colour options and DSP of your choice from the new catalogue - click the tab at the top of the blog to order online or view the catalogue when released 3rd June 2019.

Happy Crafting
