How to Make Reusable Petal Gift Bag:
Step 1
Cut the main and lining fabric into 16-inch squares, then lay them together with their right sides facing, smooth them out, and clip them in place. Sew around the entire fabric leaving a small gap for turning, then trim the corners at an angle, and turn it right side out.
Step 2
Push the corners nicely, then tuck the edges of the opening, and topstitch all the way around with ¼ inch seam allowance. Fold the points over about 3½ inches as shown in the video, then clip them in place, and stitch them about ½ inch from the folded edge.
Step 3
Attach a safety pin on the end of a piece of ribbon, then thread it through the holes on all sides, remove the pin, and pull both ends of the ribbon tightly. Turn the piece over, then remove the pin, and tie the ribbon nicely.
