50+ Gift bag Templates

This is that Bucket Handbag template in a different pattern. I love text so I scanned some old book pages from a book called The Creative Process that I got at a garage sale when I was a tween. It's a great book sad to see it go spineless, but it makes snifty paper if you like that look. you can print the text jpg at the bottom of this post if you wanna (or just let me know if you'd like a different/better format) :O)

The beads on here are sewn on to add a cheap fast bit o' bling...

A) Print, cut, & score the handbag
B) Pierce a circle around the handle (you can trace something round like a shot glass if you'd like to draw on a guide for piercing)
C) Stitch & add beads to the stitches & assemble the bag

Some nifty things about using printed-out scans are that they are manipulatable (75cent word, lol)
& You can recolour or resize or crop them anyway you like. You can print 'em on any weight of cardstock or vellum or printable twill/fabric like cardstock & they are acid free. Of course you can always use them again and again...
