DIY Gift Bag (A Cricut Tutorial)

[@KRS802]

I love this ! So cute

[@Beautifuldiastersd]

I just made this but it doesn’t fit the item I made it for but I’m still going to use it, I’m going to put my mother day cards in it

[@amothershed852]

I made these over the weekend! Much easier than I anticipated but, I have a question. I have an Explore Air 2 and I know the mat is 12x12. I was wondering if I can make a bag bigger than the ones with the 12x12 cardstock?

[@CrystalsCrafties]

It's possible but not by using a standard cutting machine as they only go up to 12x12 and also finding larger cardstock isn't easy either. If you can find larger cardstock or a different material you can make the bags larger by cutting by hand. Just use the SVG as a guide for where to cut.

Could a staple work to have it last longer, or does the glue you used is still stable?

Can I do this in a cricut joy? I would like to be able to do small bags for jewelry

[@CrystalsCrafties]

Yes! If you're wanting small bags this will work on a joy. I don't think you'll be able to add the score lines but you can just use a straight edge for that.

@@CrystalsCrafties Thanks

What weight is this cardstock???

[@CrystalsCrafties]

It works with any weight...even patterned paper. Just depends on how sturdy you want your bags.
