Crealies Adorable Mini Gift Bags Made In Just Minutes, with video

 

I am Karen Hasheck of Karen’s Kreative Kards, and in my new video I show how quick and easy it is to create mini gift bags with the new Mini Create A Box die sets. The mini size I chose is perfect for gift cards and small gifts but if you prefer, there is a large size and a medium size for larger gift bags.

I created a small birthday gift bag with fall colors and flowers. Another of my favorite die sets from the new release is the postage stamp strip, and I cut a strip of 3 to decorate the front of this box. Here is a look at the back of the mini bag I created.

I want to make 30 small gifts for Christmas and in the video I show
how fast and easy it is to create this mini gift bag:

 

There are several dies in the set for different ways to close the gift bags. On the first bag above I used the top flap and the two small holes to tie a cord and bow. Because I am making so many of this version, I chose to use the slot die and a ribbon without the top flap. In the pictures, I first used a staple to secure the ribbon.  But then I decided to use a clip to make it even easier to open. The ribbon could also be secured with a cord bow if you prefer. Here is a look at the back of this cute gift bag:

 

Be sure to read the Crealies blog and watch their YouTube Channel to see many more projects with these innovative and inexpensive die sets. I hope my projects encourage you to give some of the ideas and products a try and then send some handmade joy out into our world.

 Happy Creating! Karen
