You start with a Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags and trim the jagged edge off the top and trim a hair off the bottom, just so the bag will open.
Score the bag at 1 1/4" from the bottom and fold.
Open the bottom of the bag and fold the ends into triangles as shown to create a gusset.
Fold each side to the the center line.
Seal the seam with washi tape or scotch tape.
Now you have a bag that will stand up or will hold a bulkier item.
To decorate the bag, I used the Dots & Stripes Decorative Mask along with Whisper White Craft ink and a Sponge Dauber. I used the Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set and the coordinating Boo To You Framelits to cut everything out. The owl was stamped in Tangelo Twist, the hat in Basic Black Archival ink and the sentiment was cut from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock. I added a piece of Happy Haunting DSP to the top with a strip of the yummy Black Glimmer Paper underneath. I added a Gold Sequin Trim band and star cut from Gold Glimmer Paper.
ADORABLE Laura Lou! <3
