How to make a tall gift bag with a reinforced base – using Sun Prints DSP

April 5, 2023

5 Apr

Hello, I hope you are well.

I needed to make a gift package for some travel sized bottles of shower gel and body lotion as a little thank you gift for a friend. The bottles are quite tall so I knew I’d need some 12″ x 12″ designer series paper for the bag and chose a lovely striped pattern from the Sun Prints pack. The bottles also weigh a bit much for just using paper for the bag; so it’s got a clever little reinforced base!

Here’s the finished bag…

I’d love you to check out my video tutorial for this project by clicking on the image below:

Or you can watch the video by CLICKING HERE

To make this project you’ll need the following supplies:

  • Sun Prints designer series paper measuring 10″ x 7-1/2″
    • score on the long side at 1-1/4″ and 8-1/2″
    • score on the short side at 2-1/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-3/4″ and 7″
  • Sun Prints designer series paper measuring 3/4″ x 5-1/2″ for the band at the top
  • Basic White card for the reinforced base that measures 7-1/4″ x 2-3/16″
    • score on the long side at 2-3/16″, 3-3/8″, 5-9/16″ and 6-3/4″
    • score on the short side at 1-3/16″
  • Basic White card to stamp and punch the sentiment
  • flowers punched from the DSP
  • embellishments

The finished gift package measures 2-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 7″

Here’s a side view…

And here’s how it looks when opened…

Now I just need to decide if I should call the closure a neck band instead of a belly band! Lol.
