[@janeyboo4773]

Love this. Thank you Sam. I just made one with a calender picture on the front. I kept the calender because I didn't want to get rud of the pictures but didn't know whst to do with them. This is perfect. ❤

[@patriciamccauley9765]

Brilliant idea to use those up. Thanks Sam. 😊

The Mack Daddy of gift bags! I always end up with those full sheet designs leftovers from paper pads.

Mixed Up Craft You are an inspiration. I enjoy watching you. I am a newbie to your channel. Your work is beautiful, your explanation is remarkable, listening to you explain things, you were meant to be an educator. I've been going back to all your older post and enjoying your work. I'm a nurse this is my therapy. I plan to make cards to brighten up my coworkers day as well as my patients. Have a great day.

[@lesleystephenson8301]

Thank you a wonderful demonstration of making 12 by 12 gift bag. Clear and understandable instructions. Angel blessings 🌈💜

[@caseyslove]

Wow! That’s a whopper of a bag! Great use of those 12”x12” papers that are tricky to use as a card maker. Thanks for the step by step tutorial.

[@carolekinsey7835]

What a very useful bag this will be, for any season or occasion. Made in advance, this will be ideal to store until needed. Very adaptable too. Love it. Thanks Sam x

[@heathertoms4188]

Another fabulous gift bag! xx

[@barbaraallen2461]

Thank you so much for showing how to make a fold flat bag. I have been looking for a way to make them for years!

[@karenreeves3958]

Wow what a great size. Thanks for the tip on adding the extra piece. Here in the States we only have 12” paper.

[@cindihoskins6464]

Oh Sam!!! These are awesome!!!! I love these!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@clairegagne6906]

Oh boy, now I know exactly what to do with those papers that come in the pads. Never wanted to cut into them & been hoarding them because they would be coming in handy one day. Brilliant project Sam. Be well & TYFS

[@teresayoung4620]

Brilliant size gift bag, I have made two of these for my daughters Christmas gifts also made your large briefcase bag, Thank you x

[@paulapurvis5473]

This is the second time I have watched this. Absolutely love the idea of being able to use those 12x12 pages. So many times they are so pretty, just didn't know what to do with them. I think I'll have to do that mass making one weekend. ❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing.

[@patinahendricks9623]

I love these large bags! I have so many pages with the big words. Now I can use them. Thanks for sharing Sam!

[@znycelondon5313]

Love it. And created very easily…..also I like them to make for storage containers on shelves( minus handles if desired)……..🤗🤗🤗

[@gloriajordan3966]

Beautiful bags they are great xx 👍🏻💕

[@joycehill4399]

Great idea....thank you Sam for sharing this amazing project. I have so many of the 12 x 12 sheets with words and gorgeous images. My family and friends will love them. Thanks again.

[@dmaynardabu]

I love making bags and boxes. This is a great one! Thanks!

[@leannemitchem8865]

Awesome gift bag Sam! Great size for those kids toys. Love it. Thank you for sharing

[@janettemorrison3791]

Great idea for those large single designs in a pad 👍🏻 x

[@kreativer_chaoskopf]

great idea, finished mine and with the greyboard on the base, it´s great.

[@jeanettedickinson3446]

nice to see a lady doing this and mentioning uk Stores. gosh we don't have Dollar Tree unfortunatley

[@scrappingscootergirl]

Its fantastic that you can buy craft stuff at the grocery store!! Beautiful bag! Thanks for sharing! Not sure if its something that you would want to do or not....I think it would be fun to see a video where you talk about how you got into papercrafting, how long you have been doing it, when you decided to make it a business for yourself, how you keep from getting burnt out when you are crafting for both business and pleasure....Just an idea...Hope you are having a great day!

[@normajohnson1772]

Thanks for sharing. A beautiful use of paper.💕😍😇

[@leisacarnahan7647]

Absolutely love this idea for those beautiful papers that your not sure what to do with. I can see then in all different sizes. Another great idea Sam. Thank you!

[@Deborahsantalucia]

Hey Sam love the paper that you pick and what a grate size gift bag for any occasion ❤️

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you 😊

[@AlysonGold]

Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! I have so many of these large pages from paper pads because I didn't know what to do with them. You are, hands down, one of the best teachers I follow on KZbin. You have taught me how to think outside the box a bit more (which is something I really struggle with). Thank you so much for all you do. 💗😊

[@krystyneharris]

This bag is such a great size, and your tutorial is excellent. Thank you Sam

[@reneebanbury7066]

These are fantastic & so much less expensive than buying them. Thank you as always for sharing your genius ideas!

[@Papercrafts4ever]

Love the bag! I also LOVE LOVE the paper!!!

[@loke-art7383]

I love your projects, your ideas and your score board 😁❤️

[@Java-Junky]

Thank you for this!!! Most gift bags are so narrow and then the bag bulges and looks terrible! I have a few items that will need special sizes of boxes and bags. That’s going to be my focus today!!!

[@deborahcrum966]

these are awesome !!!! i have so many pages from pads that i would use and this is a good use from them. Thank you so much for the idea. I can make Christmas, Birthday, anniversary ones as well. :)

[@carmenvogels-aagaard5559]

Genius and so useful. Great tutorial!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you 😀

[@Nancy0162]

Another winner!!! What a wonderful way to use up those large graphic 12x12 sheets that I never know what to do with; other than framing. Just brilliant, Sam!!! Your tutorials are always so easy to follow. I've made a smaller gift bags and turned them into a box with handles and a lid that goes through the handles. I love your creativity! Tfs! Have a great day! 💗😊

[@maplelassuk]

This is brilliant!! I have loads of these scrapbook type pages left, and I've yet to make a bag...but I will be trying this, thanks Sam!

[@iramsayedify]

Im happy u still making these .. even after making so many already … have watched all of them !! Love them all 😘Sam in one of your tutorials u have made a heart shaped bag ! But its not fold flat ! I tried making one but in vain ! Can u construct something which can fold flat as valentines near ,, its going to be useful to us.. thanks a bunch 👍🏻🙏🏼

[@janetgerstein1644]

Thank you for your perfect illustration of this large gift bag. I've been needing this. Beautiful, great job 👍 Hugs from Illinois 💗

Fabulous idea Sam. I’m going to make some to have on hand.

Woop woop great fantastic size thank you x

[@platinumdiva75]

Another awesome tutorial! I love that Lidl cardstock. I just picked up a few packages because I was so impressed with the weight, quality and price 😉. 🤩 🤩 🤩

[@MixedUpCraft]

It’s lovely cardstock 😊

[@sandrasimpey1712]

This has come at a perfect time for me. I no longer have to worry about how to wrap my 18 month old granddaughter gift. Even better, she won't struggle with gift paper that's been taped in place. I also have some non Christmas paper I could use for other gifts. Thanks Sam, you're 1 in a million x

[@barbsdee3831]

Thanks Sam another great clear and concise tutorial 😘 Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏼 x

[@beckyhuddleston5416]

I ended up making 6 of your mega crackers using those types of papers. They worked out great. My six mega crackers will be filled with a bunch of stocking stuffer type things. I have more of those papers left, that I’m not clever enough to cut up for cards. They will be turned into giant gift bags for next year! Thank you so much Sam! Brilliant!

[@sandrasimpey1712]

Mega crackers? I'm going to have to look for those x

Love the giftbag and I have this paperbloc so I can make this one. 🌟🌹 Only problem--have to find in which moving box the paperpad is! 😹🙈

[@charmaineelliott5365]

So cool I’m going to make some of these looks very easy 😁

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

Never ending present. This has become tradition in our house. Started one year we couldn't afford Christmas. We wrap most gifts then wrap those together adding as we go like the old cartoon snowball rolling down the hill collecting everything in its path as it goes. It's really funny seeing our never ending present "victim's" reaction. Pajama pants wrap a small gift roll the leg part way wrap it roll again add another gift roll wrap repeat it's so funny.

[@MixedUpCraft]

That sounds lots of fun 🤣

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

@@MixedUpCraft it's a blast

[@lindakitto8979]

Very good, very useful. Do you have a vid for a bottle bag?

[@pinkmosquito22]

Awesome idea! I always wondered what I'd do with those full sheet designs! Do you have more videos on different uses for these 12x12 full sheet designs?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you, only gift bags and scrapbook layouts and shadow boxes I’m afraid 😊

[@mariamendes6720]

Ohhhh..! .. obrigada..!

[@sheilawolfe2653]

Hi Sam i love all your videos and have started to look at your older ones as i have only been following you for a little while, i was wondering if you have a video on measuring? as when i do my own makes i never measured as not confident it seems all score boards and guilloteen's are slightly different. any help would be apprechiated thank you sheila

[@CraftsByKelso]

I had to add the hinge but I had already cut out my corners so now will I have a little gap?

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

If you needed a bigger bag use 2 pieces of paper with a strip on the back to join or overlap half inch make the sides and back bigger the same way then use wrapping paper to cover. You could use ribbon for handles with a hole punch. I can also see adding a flap to close the top similarly to the way you showed us for extending the base. I'll add another comment for our family tradition of the never ending present.

[@notimetowork]

Thank you for the fabulous tutorial, I'm definitely going to make some of these! Can I ask, which glue you use as your construction glue please?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello notimetowork . The glue I use is called Collall. 😊

[@eh2179]

Did you buy the Lidl cardstock pad recently Sam?

[@rachelbaker2373]

This is fab ,can u me the measurements for a wine bottle bag x

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello . On my Mixed up craft channel i have made wine bottle bags . 😊. Hope this helps you .

[@rachelbaker2373]

Do you have measurements for a wine bag bag please

[@juliehuntley4263]

OMG!!! this was a disaster! I glued in inside out, I forgot the front piece, got confused. I tend to have trouble following the directions and need to watch 3 or 4 times to get it almost right!

[@heidijohnson1598]

What if don't have 8×13 how would I make a bag I have 12×12

[@MixedUpCraft]

This bag is 12 x 12 it uses 12 x 12 card.
