Mini Gift Bag

March 3, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 23 Comments

Small Pieces of Scrap booking Paper or Card

Japanese Masking Tape and Twine
=
Sweet Gift Bag
Here is a template showing the dimensions I used. You will need a piece of scrap booking paper that measures 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches. Cut to size (refer to template below) and fold along dotted lines. The twine/string was cut at 4 inches.  I used 1/4 inch width double sided tape to join the sides and base.
