Here is another fun project I would like to share – a paper bag gift card – this is one of my favorite ways to give the gift of a cash card. Just follow my simple instruction and create your own!
1. Start with any paper bag – my favorites are the small white bags. They measure 4 x 8 when you start. Fold in half and crease. Then stitch three sides of the bag –keeping the top open and creating a pocket with the bottom flap:
2. Pull the bobbin threads through to one side of the bag and tape in the middle:
3. Decorate the inside of the bag. Place one piece of paper from the top and tuck into the pocket. Using a circle punch to make your patterned paper mimic the paper bag. A pocket is created in the top of the bag . If desired, you can a pull-out card here. Your gift card will fit in pocket.
4. Finish decorating card – both front and back. For my Santa, I layered patterned paper and used cotton balls for his beard and hat tassle!
fantastic idea – definitely going to try this. TFS!
