Re: ** That's a Wrap Class Here!! **
Every once in a while I get caught in a bind and don’t have any gift bags on hand. Sometimes a pretty bag can really take your gift up a notch and will be appreciated just as much as the gift itself. A pretty wrapping always says “I cared enough to make it beautiful for you.”
Here is my first bag… great for a birthday!

Now… the same rule applies to all my projects today. Our measurements might be different so measure YOUR bags/boxes first.
To start I cut a 9 x 7 piece of the white dotted paper for the front and matted it on a 9 ¼ x 7 ¼ piece of coordinating cardstock.
Smack that puppy right on the front of your bag.
Next, cut a 5 x 5 piece of the yellow paper and mat that on a 5 ¼ x 5 ¼ piece of coordinating cardstock.

To make the star:
- start with a 6" x 6" piece of the orange dotted paper
- score lines every inch (use a scoring blade or just a ruler and something blunt)
- accordion fold the paper like so:

- fold the paper in half and cut equal angled edges off both ends of the paper. Make sure the *long* end of the cut is on the fold like this:

- use an office stapler to staple in the center fold
- turn the star over and carefully spread the points out to make the edges meet like this:

- use regular clear tape to attach the two sides to each other like this:

And here is the completed star from the correct side:

You can use any type of adhesive to stick the star to the front but I used glue dots.
To complete the bag I simply tied a few coordinating ribbons to the handles at the corner (note: if you tie one ribbon to the bag and then the rest of the ribbons on that one you can prevent your giftee from having to untie a zillion ribbons), cut a tag from the paper, and embellished it with a flower also cut from the same paper. Add a button and voila!

Next: our wine bag using the Basic Grey papers. Strangely enough I had a hard time finding solid colored wine bags! Target usually has a good assortment at $.99 but my Target had been raided. I ended up getting my bag at The Container Store and I suspect most wine bags are roughly the same size. You know the drill, though…. measure first!
One of the easiest ways to get inspiration for decorating bags is to use card sketches as a jumping off point like I did here. The sketch is from Pagemaps:

That star is awesome. Can't wait to try it out. Put 2 stars together & it would make a great christmas decoration too. Thanks!
