>> Hi and welcome to a new video from the 30 days of Christmas serie
today I will show you how to pack your Christmas presents in a creative way
by making some gift bags out of newspapers or scrapbooking paper
just like these ones.
For this project we will need:
some hot glue,
scrapbooking papers,
some buttons,
a pencil,
some glue,
some ribbons,
newspapers,
some paper doilies,
scissors,
a ruler
and a punch.
To create the first gift bag we will use newspapers
So let's place one on the table
and using the ruler let's mark on one side
20 cm
and on the other side 23 cm.
Once we marked the two sides
let's link the two points using a ruler and a pencil
in order to draw some guide lines which will help us cutting.
Now we can cut out our newspaper portion.
Now that we have a piece of the right size
we can assemble the gift bag.
Let's start by folding towards the center the two ends of the long side
in order to layer them a bit
like this.
Now let's glue them together.
Let's proceed by folding upwards the bottom of the bag
like this
now let's open the sides and push them downwards
just like I'm doing
in order to create the bottom of the bag.
Now let's fold again the two ends
in order to layer them
and let's glue them together
and we will have the majority of the bag done.
Now that the base of the bag is ready
we just need to insert the present and start decorating it.
Let's fold the top to close the bag
then let's fold in a triangle shape the edges
like this.
on top
in order to create a decoration.
Then let's punch two holes
like this.
Let's choose the ribbon we prefer
as you see I used some wool
and let's thread it through the holes
Now let's tie it in a bow
Let's cut the exceeding bits
and as last thing let's glue a button in the middle of the bow.
Our gift bag is ready!
Now that you know the procedure you can have fun and try it with other kind of papers
for example a more thick cardstock which will make you bag stronger.
Repeat all the steps you saw
and you'll get a ton of colorfull, fun and cute gift bags
That's all for today
I hope this video gave you some ideas to wrap your presents creatively

In the meantime I wish you a lovely day
and I'll talk to you in my next video..ciaooo!
Now let's place the paper doily
