[Nfb-krafters-korner] Gift Bags

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi Valerie,
I seem to remember doing a class for a model I called an open pouch or
packet, which can be used as a gift bag, but it must have been some time
ago. I will definitely consider doing a class again since, as you mention,
it is a very useful model to be able to fold and also cheaper than just
buying gift bags from the store.
In our family we have started to recycle our gift bags, so we would often
keep the tags of the bags as reminder of a gift, but because they are quite
strong and durable, no-one minds it if their gift bags are not new.
I also have a closed pouch, which might be useful for wrapping gifts.
Lindy

Hello everyone,  Yesterday I bought a gift bag from the newsagency to place
a tissue wrapped gift insde, I am wondering if we have ever had a gift bag
class, a bag made out of strong paper or light cardboard with little string
or plaited ribbon handles?   I imagine this might be in Lindy's corner as it
is all about folding.   Gift bags are so useful, I usually buy them as they
are easier than wrapping a gift and if we made them ourselves  we could
theme them by paper choices and decorate the borders.   In the past I've
received beautiful gift bags, one was decorated at the brim with tiny shells
another was a bag for teas, the bag  kitchen themed paper and little packs
of falvoured teas inside.  Did we have a gift bag class, I lost so much in
the computer crash, still trying to recall so many things that went.
Cheers. Valerie
