Little bag tutorial


How to make this little bag.

Take an A4 piece of patterned card or heavy paper 
1.5cm from both sides and score top to bottom
9.5cm from bottom cut a small tap witch is 1.5cm wide only to the 
score line. 
then 9cm from the little cut cut 8cm.do this on both sides.
Where the little tab is score from left to right across paper,
At the end you have cut the e longer strips of use a punch to do decoration 

Using other paper make a handle 17.5 cm long 1.5cm wide and score a bit on end of both 
sides for gluing down 
For tabs down front you need 2 x 15cm do a rounded edge and add 3 hole then stick on back work out 
how far you want them down the front. then score add a strip from one side to other for tabs to go in 
about 1.5cm wide. 


 Hope this is ok if not ill do a video.
