Hello! I hope you are well. I bought a box of chocolates with the intention of making a gift bag for them, with designer series paper. After a bit of head scratching, I finally figure out how to make this large gift bag & tag with less than 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ Reindeer Days DSP…
The finished bag measures 6-7/8″ tall, 6″ wide and 1″ deep. And features both sides of this adorable designer series paper. And I’ve got a 4-1/2″ square leftover to make something else with!
After I worked out the dimensions, I recorded a video to show you how you can make one too…
