DIY Christmas Gift Bag

This DIY gift bag is versatile for many occasions and usages because you’re able to switch out the fabric while making different arrangements. Just use a fabric design depending on the occasion and make a few gift bags. I love how she uses Christmas fabric because it’s almost that time of year again to give gifts. I love wrapping gifts, but there are certain gifts that need a bag. Plus, it would make your gift stand out when giving it to someone. Since most people use regular gift bags or boxes, having a handmade gift bag will seem very special. Ozachan channel on YouTube does a great job showing how to recreate this bag, but you’d need some basic sewing skills to accomplish this project. The design of this gift bag is so creative, and I love how it closes shut with the plastic snap-on buttons.

Supplies:

• main fabric w/ 26cm h/ 23cm (2pcs.)
• lining  w/26cm h/23cm (2pcs.)
• interfacing w/26cm h/23cm (2pcs.)
• handle w/5cm and 18cm long
• ribbons, optional
• plastic snap-on buttons

Directions:

First, apply the interfacing to the main fabric with the iron, and make the handle to sew onto the top middle fabric. Create the shape of the gift bag by using a 6×6 square pattern on the corners of the lining and main fabric. Stitch on the sides of the fabric that’s shown in the picture with a 1cm seam allowance.

Next, continue to watch Ozachan channel tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and directions. Sew the bottom of the lining and main fabric together.

Overall, I would love to make my own customized Christmas gift bags. It’s a great way for others to reuse the bags to give other gifts to others. Also, I feel like it would be an ongoing cycle of giving the gift in the bag too.
