I love making my own gift bags when possible. I can customize the size of bag to fit the gift and it’s fun to coordinate everything using stamps, paper and ink.
Here are two different sized bags I made using the Dino Days Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Aren’t they cute?! These bags are great for the little people in your life. You can easily change up the designer paper and embellishments to fit any occasion.
Here is a video tutorial showing how I created the smaller bag using two pieces of 8″ x 8″ pieces of Designer Series Paper.

Scoring Guide for an 8″ Gift Bag:
- Score top of two pieces of 8″ x 8″ Designer Series Paper at 1″. Score the remaining three sides of both pieces at 1-3/4″.
To make a larger gift bag use two pieces of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and score according to the guide below.
