This bag is made from a basic envelope! WOW!! Now, I'm going to give you measurements for THIS ONE, and I'll have my supply list down at the bottom of my post. HOWEVER, you can substitute any and everything with things you have on hand. Well, almost. You do need an envelope of some sort. This could even be one that you received a card in! It can be recycled. You just want to have an envelope for your foundation.
Intrigued yet? Well let's get started!
Intrigued yet? Well let's get started!
Any size envelope will work. It will just create a different size of bag. The bigger the envelope, the bigger the bag.
I used a standard A2 size Basic White envelope for mine, and I scored it at 3/4" on each of the left & right sides and along the bottom. This is the "critical" formula. It doesn't matter how big your envelope, or which measurement you use, so long as you score the same on each of the sides and along the bottom. That's it. That's the trick! Easy Peezy right?!
Ok, from there I burnished the score line back and forth so that it would open more easily. I put my hand inside the envelope to flatten the base. As you do this, you'll notice a triangular "point" on each end of your base. Carefully press those flat and then glue them to the base of your bag.
VIOLA! Your bag is complete! It's all about dressing it up from here! You can do that however you like! Cardstock, DSP, stamping directly on the envelope, whatever you want.
