This cute bag was made using a technique they showed at Leadership this year.
Use a 12x12 piece of dsp, cut in half so you have a 6x12 piece. Score and fold down 3/4" on one long side to form a contrasting edge around the top of the bag; glue down. Now take any small box you have lying around the house (I used a tea box) that the paper will wrap around. Place the box on the paper, leaving enough paper at the bottom to fold over, and wrap the box as you would wrap a gift, leaving the top open of course. Use sticky strip to adhere. Slide the box out of the "bag" and punch holes, add ribbon handles, decorate as desired. An easy way to make a bag without having to figure out patterns or dimensions, etc.
The heart and words are embossed in white.
