Diamond Jubilee Crafts - Envelope Gift Bag

Marc has been nagging me to make one of these gift bags from an envelope forever, so with Diamond Jubilee ideas buzzing in my head I thought I would give it a try with a Jubilee twist ….

I’ve used an ordinary white envelope, plus a die cut crown and cut up Union Jack paper chains from Poundworld to decorate both sides.

Now I admit to being very lazy and rather that do my own tutorial I have cheated and found this film by Hero Arts on YouTube which will explain far better than I ever could.

Here is another tutorial you might also like to have a look at:-http://iwannabuildamemory.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/envelope-gift-bag-tutorial-for-kraft.html
or failing that just Google – envelope gift bag.
