My first tutorial - How to create a bag-a-lope

Jan 31, 2008

1. Find a white envelope - that's actually the hardest part of this exercise as in NZ most of our envelopes that we can buy have blue in the inside (so we can't see what's in the mail) but SU! to the rescue as they have lovely whisper white envelopes for sale.
2. Seal the envelope & then with a paper cutter or could be a pair of decorative scissors remove one of the sides.
3. Decorate with stamps (stampin' around wheels make this an easy task).
4. Score FIRMLY the remaining 3 sides at 3/4" (could be 1" for a squatter bag).
   
5. Run your hand inside the "bag".
6. 2 little triangles form at the base - seal down with a strong adhesive - such as SU! sticky strip.
7. Embellish the front of bag.
   
8. Seal with a fold or even just ribbon through 2 holes if decorative scissors were used.
9. Fill with the wee goodies.
