Tuesday Tutorial: Gift Bag with a Bookmark

Hi Doodlebug fans, it's Monique today. For everyone who wants to give his or her co-worker, neighbor, friend or ... whoever, a handmade, yet simple and quick Christmas gift, here's a fun idea for a gift bag with a bookmark! And for those of you who waited till the last minute to start making gifts: it's done in a jiffy!

Here's how you can make these: start with two plain, kraft, store bought gift bags and Doodlebug's "Home for the Holidays" collection: 

Cut two strips of doublesided paper approx. 7" x 2.5" and fold the top at 1/3. 

Adhere "flags" from the pixies on top (glue the back of two flags together, so you get an image on both sides): 

And embellish: 

Last but not least adhere two small strips of magnetic tape on the inside, so the bookmark will stay in place in your book and the bookmark is done: 

For the bag: adhere a piece of patterned paper on the front of the kraft gift bag, some ribbon and a bow and clip the bookmark around the front: 

And you're done!

And that's it!

Hope you like the idea. Thanks for visiting Doodlebug's blog today and hope to see you back tomorrow!
