Paper Crafts Tote Bag

[scarlett]

I hope it's okay that I am posting this. I posted some tote bags in the gallery that I made using the template from the March issue of Paper Crafts. A couple of people were looking for the template. Here it is.

Here is a link to the tote bags that I made:

Thank you soooo much for sharing this. The March issue never made it to my house (out there in la-la land with a few missing Mini catalogs and Stampin' Success magazines).

You rock! :cool:

Thank you so much! Your tote bags are amazing!! Have a great day.

[bgnagy]

Can't wait to try these. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pattern!

[Robin Anthony]

I have been making those like crazy since that issue. TFS with everyone!

Happy Mother's Day!

[allamericanstampers]

Thanks for sharing! I started subscribing to it the issue after that one!! :grin: Wonderful samples too, BTW!

[scarlett]

Thanks, everyone! I love this template and have really enjoyed making them. The best thing about it is that it fits 4.25 x 5.5 cards perfectly.

One thing I forgot to mention in this thread but it is in my gallery post is that I made my straps out of a second piece of paper - each strap is 1/2" x 11". The ends attach to the inside of the bag with brads. Then the two straps down each side of the bag are out of another 1/2" strip.

Hope this helps, Jen

Thanks for sharing this! I have a couple of BD's coming up and this will be great.

Thanks so much for the template and I was just wondering about the straps and then I read on down where you addressed that as well. How sweet and thoughtful of you to share all of this info. MomD

I made one of these for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day - she loved it!! and filled it with 4 notecards with her initial.

I have looked all over for the Papercrafts mag - but was unable to find one -so I just made up the pattern by looking at the ones in the gallery.

thanks for the template - I'll check it out

Thanks so much for taking the time to give all the template. It is so awesome. I just used SU's double sided paper from the spring mini for my stepmom. I used the tag punch for a tag on the front. Thanks again

I tried clicking on the attachment, but I couldn't see anything. Could you send it to me. I can normally open pdfs.

Did you ladies who can't it try right clicking and then clicking on "Save Target As"? PDFs in Adobe seem to work this way. Wish I figured this out by myself, but I found the hint.....on you guessed SCS. Good luck.

[shyll]

That worked, thanks Erica!

[Patra]

Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for the March issue and haven't been able to find it. I can't wait to get started making some of these!

[Faereygirl]

That is a WONDERFUL pattern!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I usually go out and buy this magazine myself...but I forgot all about it the past couple of months!!!

Your totes are darling! I'll have to get my PaperCrafts out again and review the project. TFS

Here is one I did for teacher gifts. Thanks for the great idea.

[bailiesmom]

I love these but I can't open the attachement:confused: . Could you please email it to me at [email protected]. Thanks:-D

[scarlett]

Tanya - I have emailed it to you. Not sure if you tried it or not, but to open pdf attachments you have to save target as and save it on your computer first and then open it. It won't open if you just click on the link. Hope this helps, Jen

[dubjay]

Absolutely unique! I've got to try this for my craftshow coming up. It's got to be a hot seller!

[clou72]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I saw one in the gallery today and wondered how it was made! This is awesome!

[tedderlisa]

I tried to open the attachement with the 'open target as' and that wasn't even listed. Can you please email it to me? [email protected] I love these, and need to get going on teacher gifts!! :-O

[sandee74]

Hi Lisa!!

Sent you an email!!

[Pink Stamper]

I was thinking about doing a class on this. What would you charge for a class like this? Also is template actual size or do you need to enlarge it?

[scarlett]

Julie - the template isn't actual size because I had to make it slightly smaller to make it fit an 8.5" x 11" page with margins for the pdf. Just follow the dimensions on the template. It's really easy when you do it - just a couple of score lines, a couple of cuts and it's ready to assemble. Hope this helps, Jen

[lottaboys]

Thank you for posting these instructions! I have been trying to figure out how to make one of these ever since I saw yours in the gallery.
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
This is why I love SCS you find so many awesome ideas and great people who are willing to share their projects!

[StampinHappyInCT]

Thank you so much for posting the instructions for making these totes. I made some tonight and they came out soooo cute! Inside each tote is a coordinating set of notecards and a beaded pen. I made these as thank you gifts for people that helped me with a church project.

Thank you for posting! I thought...oh darn I should have bought that issue. Used your template this weekend for a card order...turned out great! Then was cleaning up and I HAD bought that issue!! Would have never known it! Thanks again for posting. Your purses turned out sooooo cute!!

[NaNel]

Silly me, I was double clicking on your attatchment and it opened to nothing. Didn't realize I just had to right click on the actual attatchment above! Now I'm off to make one--thanks so much! Nancy

thanks for the template. I've been looking for something like this!

[BagLady]

Scarlett,

Thanks for posting your template. I make a tote last night and put the finishing touches on it today at lunch.

TFS,

Janet
