Hi Crafters
Today I am sharing my own designs for a Gift Box & Bag from one piece of 12 x 12 cardstock
For this project you will need:
1 sheet of heavier cardstock 12 x 12
Ribbon
Start by cutting the 12 x 12 in half If it has a pattern you want it to remain vertical so cut at the 6” line on the vertical.
For
the bag:
- Along the long side score at 1.5”,5.5”,7”,11”
- Turn and score at 1.5” (this is the base of the bag)
- Burnish all the score lines
- Along the bottom cut off the right hand side section up to the score line This 1” section is the edge that will join the bag together Cut up the other score lines and nip a little either side to form the base of the bag
- Glue or use tape down the side seam and join together Fold up the bottom tabs and glue in place for the base of the bag, ensuring they line up and keep the bag square
- Hot glue and add handles, or make holes in the top of the bag and thread ribbon through knotting them on the inside to hold
- Pinch the top together and run down the sides until it folds over flat for storing
- I decorated my bag with a bow made on my bow-maker
- The Box
- For this cut 1” off the width of your card leaving a piece 11” x 6”
- Score along the long side @ 1.5”,5”,6.5”,10”
- Turn and score 1.5” either side
- Fold and burnish all your lines
- I clip all my corners with a corner punch but you do not have to do this
- Cut up the side score lines to the first score line Using the 1.5” marked section as the front of your box fold the box up folding in the flaps as you go.
If
you want the box to be opened multi time just fasten with a ribbon, as I have.
If it is to be used once you can glue the sides together and leave the
top flap free to add the present before gluing it down into place.
Or
decorate them with guests names and use as place, settings as an alternative to
crackers.
Happy Crafting
