Apple Cider "Goodie" Bag & Free Tutorial

Today we want to share with you this quick and easy gift bag!

 
Again, we have used one of our wonderful Paper Fashions' Fall Bingo cards to embellish this oh-so-cute project!

First, score your 12 x 12 piece of card stock or DSP(we used Autumn Spice) starting at the left, 3/4", 5-1/2", 6", 6-1/2" and finally at 11-1/4".

 
Next, turn your card stock the other direction and score at 3" and 7-1/2".

 

Now you are ready to fold you paper on the score lines.  First, crease all of your lines really well using a bone folder.  Then fold the two sides (this would be the 3/4" score lines) in and glue them down.

 

Next, fold the larger side down and seal just the very corner.  This will form the pockets.

 

Next, fold the shorter side up and glue it down.

 
Next you create the valley and mountain folds with the three score lines; this forms the bottom of the bag.

 
Fold the sides up and glue the two pockets together, just in the very middle being careful not to glue your pockets shut.

 
There you have it.  Quick, simple and cute!!  We punched holes in the outside edge and ran ribbon through them for our handles.  Embellish the front (and the back if you'd like) and you have a cute double pocket bag just ready to fill!
