Favors: Bag with Scallops

Hello Everyone! We will be making a favor called bag with scallops. I used a big shot machine and a die cut from sizzix called bag with scallops. Here's a picture of the favor:

1.) When you use the die cut, here are the different parts that you'll have: the body and the 2 sides.

2.) Fold where the score linings are.

3.) Use double-sided tape to adhere the sides of the bag. This picture shows you where to place your tape.

4.) Adhere the bottom side first.

5.) Adhere the other bottom side.

6.) Adhere the sides.

7.) I used velcro to closed the scallop tab. To do this, stick together both sides of the velcro and adhere one side first to the scallop tab. Remove the plastic of the other side of the velcro and place down the scallop tab (this will make the other side of velcro stick to the body of the bag - this will ensure that your velcro are placed properly and that they will stick together).

8.) Decorate your bag. I decorated my bag with ribbon on top, and a sentiment. Please do not forget to check out my sponsors by clicking the links on the right side or below this blog. Thank you.

Hello Everyone! Here is another party favor idea. And since I received a good feedback about using pictorial tutorial, I will do my best to use pictures from now on. For this favor, we will be creating a box from a scratch without using any die cut.

1.) Size: 12" x 5". From left to right (see picture below), score 1/2", then from that point score 2 7/8" three times. Score 3" from the top and then fold.

2.) This part will be tricky so please refer to the picture below. I hope you all could see where the vertical scores are on the bottom part of the paper. Starting from the bottom left side, on the first big square, score 1" two times creating 3 rectangles (the third one won't be a perfect 1" since the size of the square is 2 7/8"). Do not score all the way on the top. Just score the bottom part. Skip the second square. On the third square, do the same thing like the one from the first square.

3.) Trim parts of it. See below. And then fold.

4.) Use double-sided tape. This picture shows you where to put your tape for the outside part of the box.

5.) This picture shows you where to put your tape for the inside part of the box.

 

6.) Adhere together the two ends first. Tape the small end inside. Then adhere the bottom part together.

 

7.) This is how your box should look like.

(bottom part)

 

8.) Using a scallop edge punch, trim the edge of a black cardstock. Cut 1/2".

 

9.) Using a sticky tape, adhere the scallop edge paper inside the box.

 

10.) I decorated the front of the box with this sentiment. Inked the stamp with pink and stamped it on a white paper. Trim around it. Using dimensional (sticky foam or pop up tape), adhere it on a black cardstock. Trim around it. For this part, you can always use a different sentiment or stamp. Use your creative ideas to decorate your box.

 

This is the finished product. I used the box for a cookie favor. Tied the plastic bag with a pink dots ribbon to match with the pink dots paper that I used to create the box.

Hello Everyone! I wanted to try something different by using pictures to show the step by step procedures for crafts ideas. For tonight, we will be making a favor. I got this idea from a craft class that I was attending. I just used different colors and designer paper. You too can use your own favorite colors and designer papers. This favor can be use for any party, Halloween favors, Christmas, Valentine, Birthday and many more. I hope you all like it. Let me know if you all like the idea of using pictures for procedures.

1) Size: 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" for the base. Score 1" on all sides and fold. Trim a part of it. Use double-sided sticky tape on the four small corner squares. See pictures below:

2.) Size of the designer paper: 11" x 4". Put sticky tape on the bottom and left side of the designer paper that your are not using (the back side). Adhere this on the base.

3.) Using a scallop edge punch, trim an edge of a 12" paper. Cut 3/4" size of this paper. Adhere this around on the bottom part of the favor.

4.) For the holder, you can use a small tab punch. If you don't have one, you can always copy the shape and cut it yourself. Fold it in half and adhere this on top of the favor.

5.) Use a stamp sentiment of your choice. Stamp it on a circle punch. Adhere this using a dimensional (also called sticky foam) on a scallop shape paper. Then stick this on the middle of the favor. You can always use your own idea on how to decorate the middle part of your favor depending on the occasion you're using it for.

6.) To hold the tab together, I used an eyelet. Tied it together using a ribbon.

Here's the finish product. You can put anything inside (chocolate, candy, cookies, etc.) Use your creative ideas on how to design this favor and when to use it. Enjoy!
