I have been looking around trying to find a suitable container that would work for Danielle's Easter basket!
I love the 'Box in a Bag' tutorial but I wanted to make it a little smaller, so I have adapted the version on Splitcoast Stampers and have come up with this one for you of how I did it!
Here goes.......there are lots of pictures so bear with me :-)
Mini Box in a Bag
Carol Houghton Feb 2011

You will start with one piece of cardstock 4.1/2" x 3.1/4" Score on each side at 1/2" cut corners and add sticky strip as shown.
Form into a normal box base
Take one piece of DSP (patterned paper) measuring 3.1/2" x 12" and add sticky strip to one side and the base as shown
Start assembling by adding your DSP to the box base as shown in the photo's below
Cut two pieces of DSP 1" x 12" and punch one edge of each with the Eyelet Border Punch - add some ink to the punched edges with a sponge dauber
Flip both of these pieces over and add sticky strip to the entire length
These will then be added to the base and top edge of your bag as shown below
Using the Round Tab punch, cut two from cardstock. Cut both of these in half and using the dauber as before add ink to all edges. Also cut two pieces of ribbon 7.1/2" long for the handles.
Add your handles to the base of the bag and decorate as desired!
Mr Blogger has been playing up whilst I've been trying to load this post, so I hope it reaches you as it should do!!
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and that you will make a Mini Box in a Bag of your own! I think it has lots of possibilities for gift giving and is just perfect for Danielle's Easter Eggs!
See you soon............Have a lovely Sunday & don't forget to enter my blog candy draw......details in right side bar ;-D
