DIY Tutorial

It’s Monday afternoon, so it’s time for another DIY Tutorial! This week we welcome back the lovely Laura from The Mrs Makes. As You know Laura is a regular on the Blog, both with her DIY Tutorials and her Bridal Diary entries. Laura has been busy getting all her DIY projects completed before her wedding next month. I can’t believe it has come round so soon!

Today Laura is showing us how to make these super cute paper gift bags, which are perfect for wedding day presents as well as  birthday presents.

Step 1) Cut a piece of paper large enough to wrap around both books

Step 2) Wrap the books as if you were wrapping a present, and fold up just one end. Glue and secure with tape if needed

Step 3) Remove the books from inside the paper

Step 4) Fold the gussets into the side of the paper bag – you may want to iron them in to make the creases sharper and more permanent

Step 5) Cut a piece of cardboard and place in the bottom of the bag to add some extra support and structure

My bridesmaids will be getting one of these on the wedding morning. I can’t wait to leave them on their bedside table overnight.
