Fold Over Top Gift Bag

Here is a sweet little fold over top gift bag made using the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper (dsp). You can fit 2 Fererro Roche chocolates in the bag……..yum. This sweet little box is so easy to make and such a handy size. This was made for the Hopping Around the World blog hop where the theme is 3D. If you have hopped over from Rachel Macleod  I am sure you loved her project. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK.

To recreate the Fold Over Top Gift bag you will need:

Ornate Garden dsp – 8½” by 6”
Scrap Whisper White

I began by using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Ornate Garden dsp. The long side was scored at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and the short side at 1¾” & 5”.

Using Scissors I cut off the top and bottom small rectangles leaving the central tab. Then I cut up each of the 1¾” rectangles to form tabs for the bottom of the box. The 1” strip of dsp was trimmed off except the last rectangle next to the narrow tab.

The score lines were then folded and burnished. Tear and Tape was then added to the thin side tab and the box was closed. I folded three of the bottom tabs in and added Tear and Tape to the fourth before folding it down and sealing the bottom closed.

The back and front of the bag were then pinched together and the 1” strip folded over to form the closure.

I wrapped the lovely Old Olive Ribbon around the bag and tied a bow towards the top, this will hold the bag closed.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Terracotta Tile ink and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It was added to the flap closure, just under the bow with a Glue Dot.
