Designer Series Paper Bag Tutorial

I've had quite a few emails and comments asking for a tutorial on the DSP Bags that I posted here. So, I've written a tutorial. Once you start making these I'm sure you'll find all sorts of different boxes to use as your base template. I've experimented a bit and made a smaller version to hold Love Note sized cards and envelopes (3"x3" size). You'll follow the same directions for these - just adjust your designer series paper size for the smaller bag- I cut mine to 9 1/2" x 4" to make the smaller version shown here.

Designer Series Paper Bag Tutorial
Supplies:
Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 12"x6" - for large sized bag
Snail or Sticky Strip
Scor-It (or any scoring tool)
Box (I used the ones my checks come in)

Place your DSP onto your Scor-It and score 3/4" on one edge (this will be come your trim when folded)

Add Snail to the flap and fold over ***note if you want to have a scallop edge - make sure you scallop before taping down your flap.















Wrap the DSP around a box (here I used the box my checks come in) over lap your edges and secure with Snail.











Begin to fold your edges in (like you are wrapping a present and secure them with snail).



















When finished the bottom should look like this -
















Embellish as desired

If you decide to make these, please leave a link in the comments, I'd love to take a look!
