DIY -make your own little goodie/giftbag-

Well hello, i hope you are still enjoying our (crafty) blog :) For today i have another DIY for you. I made this post several months ago over at my own blog, but with the upcoming Holidays i thought it would be lovely to also share it here ❤

When i was sorting out my craftsupplies i saw all my pretty wrappingpapers and thought it was a pity that they were just lying around, instead of being used! There's such pretty (gift)paper all around! Just a few examples: Christmas wrapping paper, scrapbookpaper or even design your own!

Supplies

- (gift)paper

-scissors

-double sided tape

cut a piece of paper in the size that you like

fold your paper

fold the other (smaller half) over the big one

confirm you double sided tape

and fold the smaller side over it

fold the 'bottem' up

add double sided tape

fold & make sure it's solid

almost done..

i've cut a little 'wave' on top with the siccors

& added my own 'business' card

You can use little clothespins to close it,

use a stapler and add your 'business' card there.

You can also make two holes on top and pull

a little ribbon through etc.

There are endless ways..

explore yours xD

DIY - flowers part 2-

Hi :) I hope you're enjoying our creative blog! Last week i showed you how to 'pimp' your t-shirt with a flower ribbon. Today is part 2 of my little DIY serie about flowers. The coming weeks i will keep on showing you how to make (simple) flowers with different materials. This week i used crepe paper, but you can also use normal paper or blotting-paper or make a combination with them. I also made a paper giftbag. Cute to use as a pretty- little-garden-spring gift with bulbs inside ;)

DIY -flowers part 2-

Make your own crepe paper flower

& papergiftbag

Supplies for the flower

-siccors

-crepe paper

- brads

- marker/pencil

Supplies for the paper bag

- paper/ wrappingpaper (not to thin)

-crop-a-dile

-some ribbon

-eyelets

Just draw as many flowers as you like on the crepe-paper and cut them out. Then use two or three of them and secure them with a (cute) brad in the middle. I added my flower on the little paper giftbag that i made. There are a lot of different ways to make your own paper bag. If you do like to make one yourself i've found a few internet sites! You can look here , here or here.

I made holes on top of my bag with the crop-a-dile and used eyelets to make it pretty. A little cute ribbon to finish your bag & add a giftcard if you like.

I also found this site, it's just perfect if you don't know how to make your own! Click on the bag you want, just print the one you like and glue the prints together.

You can make as many flowers as you like and use them in your scrapbookalbum, on a gift, add them to a giftbag etc. If you made a prettty little giftbag or flowers, feel free to post them on our flickr site, here's the link :)

ta da, your giftbag is ready madame!
