Backpack Gift Bag

[@leannemitchem8865]

This bag is stunning when it is all done. I made this for a friends little girl for her birthday. It was a huge success. She still has it on display in her room with her favourite things hiding inside and little notes from friends in all the pockets. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing, I made 2 of these and the recipients loved them

[@jessicawyman-brown3207]

This was so amazing! Thank you for such a detailed tutorial. I’ve never made anything out of paper,not even a card. I didn’t have all the exact supplies you used so I improvised a bit. However because you did such a great job with the directions I was able to make this super cool bag. I bought a gift and needed a cool bag. I wish I could attach a photo to show how great the bag turned out. It has little flaws but not very noticeable. Again thank you so much!!

Sam, this is an amazing project. I don't think I have every seen a card bag made as detailed as this. The recipient would be totally gobsmacked at the amount of work that has gone into it. Thank you for your continued inspiration to us crafters. :O)

Hi Sam, I know I’m somewhat late 🤭but I just had to add a comment; what a brilliant tutorial. I’ve just finished mine for my daughter. You do the most fun projects and deliver with such clear instructions. Thank you, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy healthy New Year x

[@thecraftywitch510]

[@lyncrafts316]

[@MixedUpCraft]

Fantastic Marilyn I'm so pleased x

[@thecraftywitch510]

I have to try this today I am off till Tuesday ...got to be done!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Great stuff x

[@mukwah1111]

Oh my goodness! I worked along with you and it came together perfectly - until that last piece ---- I added it backwards and had to pull it apart again. The tape tore the cardstock so I had to add an extra full size piece to the back panel. It all worked out and thank goodness for that. Its adorable! I found this much easier to make than the pop box card - still fighting with that one but I wont give up until I get it right. Thanks so much.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Your welcome, glad you enjoyed this project, it's one of my favourites :)

[@christinethompson8899]

Lovely idea, thanks for sharing!!! I know you added a piece of card over the magnets in the pocket surely you need them over the flap magnets so prying fingers can't pull them off or put in their mouth.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Glad you liked it. I would suggest using velcro if you're worried about smaller children taking it apart. x

[@OhDonna]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm glad I found your channel. This is a fabulous project! I'm definitely going to try making one. Your tutorial is very clear and detailed. Thank you for sharing you ideas and for the inspiration!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you and welcome to my channel, I hope you continue to enjoy my tutorials :)

[@christinedavies336]

Happy New Year Sam! Well that's got 2018 off to a flying start hasn't it - LOVE IT! Tfs - C xOx

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Christine, Happy New Year x

[@wrlewis1854]

You can use aluminum to get your corner rounder to work properly again. It will sharpen it.

[@princessalways4eva]

[@annelafortune1328]

What do you suggest me to put on the carbord if i want to travel with it and get it water repellent ? i admire what you create and intend to do a few of your ideas. Congratulation !!!!

[@rosemariesteeds1838]

Love the backpack can I ask what size magnets you used and where do you buy them from.x thanks.x

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Rosemarie sorry for the delayed response. My magnets were 3mm I believe, Its all listed with links in my blog post in the information below the video x

[@omghi1863]

[@loriseabrook1906]

I cant wait to make it oh my it is sooooo lovely!!!! :) TYTY for the great tutorial :) Where was the travel from?? I love it :)

[@fancyface3191]

What paper did you use, I want to make one for my daughter to take to.a.school event on Momday

[@debbiebea56]

That is so cute. What did you use to make it real sturdy I’ve tried making small handbags. And they always seem to rip thank you

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Debbie, my card is strong 200gsm x

[@SuziMacCreations]

I know I'm so late to this, but new subbie, loved your tutorial xx

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello and welcome 😁

[@Elizabeth-1954]

Sam, is there a smaller version?

[@AutismJourney_BeKind]

Wow this backpack is unbelievable!! Coolest thing I've ever seen! I can't wait to make this. You made it very easy and I really appreciate that. Your a wonderful teacher 😀 How heavy is your paper? What weight do u recommend? Thank u so much for this. I'm amazed by this

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello, thank you for your kind words. I would recommend above 200gsm if you want as really sturdy backpack however 160gsm would work I just wouldn't put anything too heavy in it. x

[@TheStarfish9]

Please can you tell me what is the name of the paper and what is the company that you got the paper from it’s just lovely. Thank you. Anita

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Anita, sorry for the delay in replying. The papers are from Eno Greetings and you can get them on Ali Express x

[@reafriesen5618]

This is amazing. Very stunning. Is the red tape stronger than the white tape? Tfs. Smiles & Huggzz 🙋‍♀️👍🌷

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Rea, yes I kind that it is, it's thicker and doesn't tear. :)

[@TiffanyHeggs]

Absolutely stunning doll I love it and I'm gonna try it, ***New Diva Subbie *** 🙋🏽💃🏽

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you so much and welcome x

[@AutismJourney_BeKind]

Also I'm not seeing the link for the magnets? Maybe I missed that

[@MixedUpCraft]

The magnets and everything are listed in my blog post below the tutorial. I used 3mm magnets from Ebay however bigger ones would work fine also. x

[@katrinawilliams2290]

What type of paper did you use? I mean thickness or weight .

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello Katrina . The card is 220 gsm or above. 😊
