Christmas In July ~ day 10

Wow ! A 1/3rd of the way through July already, it makes me realise just how quickly the days turn into weeks & those weeks slip away so quickly. I have to say that I have astounded myself & if you know me, you will probably be astounded that i am still on course for my Christmas in July task.


On Saturday Dawn was making these cute little gift bags during her Christmas in July demonstration.

She started with a square of card 7cm x 7cm
( providing the base is square you can use any size )
Score a 1cm border all of the way round & make into a box lid.
Take a piece of 12" x 12" paper the height you want tour gift bag to be.
Use double sided sticky tape all the way around the edge of the base, & stick the paper all around the base & where the edges overlap use double sided stick tape to secure.

Decorate using ribbon & stamped images.

Using the cropodile hold the two top edges together and punch holes through both sides, affix the jumbo eyelets to tie the ribbon through as the bag closure.
