12:35 -- Fantastic method to make kraft cardstock look like wood/tree bark by breaking down the fibers. 🎉😮😀

[@DIYDreamWeddingsUK]

These look just like real bags, who would have thought they would be made of paper and card. Absolutely amazing, they are wonderful 👍👏

[@karenbrass5053]

What a gorgeous bag! I love it and I’m sure my Mam will too. It looks like it’s going to be difficult to make, but because you break down each stage, it becomes more manageable. You’re a great teacher! 😊 Thanks.

[@kristinakowalski6573]

You are the Queen of bags. So beautiful

[@susanpeachey575]

[@lindastewart5630]

Hi Sam! This bag is sooooo lovely❤️ You are truly talented, I really admire the way you are so neat and tidy. Everything you do is pristine 🤗 I love watching your videos and reading your blog. Thank you for sharing.X

[@joycehill4399]

Sam, this is one of my favorites of your gift bags. I really enjoyed recreating this one. I gave many to family and friends. They are still enjoying them (I made them the day you uploaded the video). This bag is absolutely amazing! I shall be making more...in Christmas hues. Thank you so much for sharing...

[@leannemitchem8865]

Wow! Stunning! I think I mentioned the last purse was my fav but now this one is by far. And the greatest thing about your bags are the ability to fold flat for storing cause I am going to be making lots of these. The leather looking one kinda reminds me of a portable hand held tool box or a doctors bag back in the 18th century. Love these so very much! Thank you for sharing!

[@MixedUpCraft]

lol Leanne, your always so sweet. Yep has to be fold flat, means I can keep making loads :) x

[@leannemitchem8865]

I hear ya!

[@frenlynn]

These are great! The brown bag looks very 70s retro...all it needs are some bright flower add-ons! Thanks!!

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Love the one you call masculine! It looks so leathery and beautiful which would be great for any business professional.

[@gaillockeyakathemessycraft658]

Yet another wonderful project. Tfs much love x

[@suzieque5149]

[@Aussielynne2024]

Absolutely love this bag thanks for great tutorial

[@angiedyer69]

These are brilliant Sam, you have such great ideas for something that little bit different!

[@princessalways4eva]

New subbie here! I absolutely love this.😍🎉 I’m always making bags to hold goodies for my granddaughter. This one is on my list for her birthday in August. She loves all the “purses” that I make for her. She’s going to be 11 years old. I’ve been doing my best to turn her into a young lady and my crafts help.😊 I look forward to seeing your other videos. Tfs sweetie. Hugs-Kristina 🤗

[@sheronegolf7642]

What a nice looking bag!

[@janiscreatesjohnson6630]

Oh my what a super bag tutorial tfs

[@supermum2kids233]

OMG... This is brilliant! In the 80's bags like this were all the rage, made from string with wooden handles. We used them for school and had to use a carrier bag inside so we didn't lose anything through the holes x 🙂

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Both are wonderful. Thank you.

[@ca3neolsen]

Thanks for sharing! Love it! 👍

[@reneerenner3881]

Will need to try this tomorrow.

[@Sara-yg2nm]

Hi Sam , you create such beautiful bags. Can you please do a tutorial of a Tory Burch designer bag . Sending you a pic of the bag. Thanks much . Seems like I can send pic here

[@francesdmackay]

Another stunning project, thanks

[@Craftylizette]

Love it, thank you!!!

[@patpowell6684]

The handles remind me of a cloth knitting holder I had once that stood on the floor. I have a friend who is a big knitter, this would make a lovely gift bag with knitting goodies in. Her birthday is coming up so it was very good timing......thank you again, I can always count on you for something unusual. 🎉👏🏻✨

[@susanpyra7182]

WOW! How awesome are you? The bag is so incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Simply gorgeous !

[@juliekindred-fatbirdcrafti1459]

You are so clever

[@jmccreates1337]

Wow how amazing well done xx

[@natalinatagliaferri6257]

Amazing.

[@beverlymeaker7566]

This gift bag is awesome!!!!! Question: Does the distressed ink portion dry to the touch, or should I spray it with sealant so it doesn't make for inky fingers later?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Beverly. No, no need for sealant, the ink dries completely after 30 minutes or so.

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Sam you're a genius. I love this one. Tfs Hugs and blessings Donna

[@puryeareaker7975]

I did it with the Woodglut plans.

[@whatlizziepresents]

Omgosh, how adorable is this!!! I have just done a few gift purses, but nothing like this, I might upload the project share of them tomorrow. I am going to try and make one, Vera Bradley inspired. I'm new to my channel, I'll probably be able to make one by the weekend. Come check out my channel, would love to have you as a subbie friend. TFS
