Envelope Gift Bags: Friday’s Project #11

This is a project I’ve had bookmarked for well over a year and have been itching to make (it actually may happen in the next few weeks now that I’m on a summer schedule—yay!). I’m posting these links before I have made the gift bags myself, but they really do look fun and simple.

I first saw small favor/gift bags on How About Orange (one of my favorite craft/design blogs). I’ve seen them posted on other sites online, but these remain as my favorites. They are clean and un-fussy. I plan on making a bunch of them in one sitting to have on hand for any small wrapping emergency.

This version uses decorative tape to add pattern and design to the bags. I’m a sucker for stripes and I also have an idea for a plaid design I’ll try with the same tape.

I love the decorative edge in this version with ribbon handles. I might have a collection of fun ribbon that I’ll use for these.
