On Line Training: Bag/Box

My last online tutorial, via a Zoom meeting, was showing how to create a cute little bag/box for a small gift made from a single sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock.  It isn't my original idea, but I really loved learning how to do this and then passing it along,  Here are the steps to create one of your own:    



Bag/Box Project from 4/25/2020 Virtual Crop

Use one piece of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock; first picture shows all the score lines detailed below:

Score on 11" side: 3/4", 4-1/2", 6-1/2", 10-1/4" plus 1" down from the edge at 5-1/2" (both edges)

Place a pencil mark at 2-1/2" and 8-1/2" on both sides.

Score on 8-1/2" side: 2", 6-1/2"

Again, on the 11" sides, score diagonally from the 2-1/2" toward the center to the 4-1'2" score line and from the 8-1/2" mark line toward the 6-1/2" score line.

Next place the tear n' tape (double-sided adhesive) as shown in the illustration below:

Fold along all the score lines, including the diagonals.

Remove the adhesive from two corners on 11" sides and fold toward the center. Repeat on the other side.

Here is how the bag looks when folded.

 

To finish off, decorate the outside with 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" card stock layered with 3" x 4" of designer series paper. Add tags or other embellishments.

Close bag with clips or punch holes and secure with ribbon or thick twine.
