Box In A Bag Tutorial

Woohoo! My first tutorial. I hope that it is easy to follow. Any comments, helpful hints, etc. would be very much appreciated. I want to make them as easy to follow as possible. Enjoy!

supplies:
4 1/2 x 4 1/2 cardstock
2 x 11 cardstock
5 1/2 x 11 DSP
sticky strip
scallop punch
tab punch
ribbon & accessories (optional)







1. - score 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 cardstock @ 1" on all 4 sides & burnish with bonefolder. Cut along scoreline on 2 sides to create tabs as shown.


2. - place sticky strip on back of tabs and fold up to create the box for the bottom of the bag.









3. - turn your 5 1/2 x 11 DSP over to the back and place sticky strip along bottom and up 1 side as shown.



4. - peel sticky strip from back of DSP. take the box made in steps 1 & 2 and roll along the bottom until completely wrapped around. peel sticky strip from the side of the DSP & overlap where you started it on the box to create your bag.







5. - use your scallop edge on the 2 x 11 piece of cardstock to create the decorative bottom. place your sticky strip exactly as you did in step 3. peel and wrap around the bottom of your bag the same way as your DSP in step 4.





6. - punch 2 tabs with your tab punch and then punch holes in both tabs. attach to the top of your bag and tie ribbon. Accessorize as desired!
