Making a Mini Gift Bag
by Stephanie Ackerman
September 12, 2008
This mini bag is a very quick and easy project to make. It will literally take you less than 10 minutes from start to finish and no adhesive is necessary.
Supplies needed:
- One 12x12 sheet of heavy weight double-sided pattern paper
- Flowers to match
- Stamped sentiment
- Bone folder
Start by folding your sheet of paper in half, creating a triangle, with the point facing away from you. The bone folder helps create a nice crisp crease.

Next, fold each corner toward the center so the points of each triangle meet half way up the opposite angle. Use the bone folder on the creases.


Now fold down the top layers – one to the front and one to the back

Finally, decorate as desired. I added flowers, a stamped sentiment and a brad.

Title: Mini Bag
Products used: Patterned Paper (My Minds Eye)
Flowers (Prima)
Stamp (Stampendous)
Ink (Whispers)
Brad (Making Memories)
I think this would make a great little Halloween gift stuffed with candy or perhaps a great holiday bag to hold a gift card, holiday candy or even some mini craft supplies, or how about a cute little teacher gift.
Take a few minutes and create one – I’d love to see what you come up with.
