Any present for the holiday requires some beautiful and original packaging. Moreover, no matter what triumph it is, whether it be a man or woman, girl or boyfriend, grandparents, or even a baby. For example, even to put in a box of perfume, a postcard or some souvenir you need a congratulatory bag. In these cases, what do we usually do? We run headlong to the shops and look for some beautiful bag. But what to do if there is nowhere to run, once or even completely forgotten for it. There is a way out of this situation and is quite simple. You can make beautiful gift bags with your own hands out of cardboard, decorate them with decor and you will get a very exclusive and original packaging for your gift.
For the master class we will need to take:
• Two sheets of cardboard pink and blue color A4 format;
• Scrapbook paper in mint blue and pink;
• Color printed pictures;
• Two inscriptions “Happy Holidays”;
• White paper napkin;
• Ribbons rep white and blue with prints 10 mm wide;
• Ribbons shabby peach pink and blue;
• Paper hydrangea flowers blue and pink;
• Pink wide lace;
• Paper small flower of soft pink color;
• Satin ribbons pink and blue 3-5 mm wide for pens;
• For decor: pearl half beads, buttons, paper butterflies;
• Installer of grommets and grommets (if you do not have one, then you can do with a simple clerical hole punch to make holes for handles);
• Curb hole punch, if any;
• Ruler, double-sided tape, glue stick, simple pencil, scissors and glue gun.

We lay out the scheme on the table, take sheets of cardboard and we will make the basics of the packages from them.

We take one sheet of cardboard, unfold it horizontally. Clearly transfer all dimensions to cardboard and draw bending lines under the ruler.

In the same way, we do it on the second sheet of cardboard and put our billet packages into bends.

Now we cut two rectangles 10 * 14.7 cm from scrapbook paper on a sheet for each package. We glue a napkin on one, beautifully laying it, on top of the picture, on the second picture, on the bottom we glue inscriptions, we put a ribbon under the pictures.

We wrap the tape and glue the back with double-sided tape. Now we sew pictures and inscriptions with a typewriter, now we glue these scrap blanks on each side of the bag. Below you can still glue openwork strips of paper made by a curb hole punch.

We flash each side of the package on a typewriter.

Now, on the side tails we will need to glue the packages. We start spreading and glue the sides with glue-pencil, and then glue the bottom. We collect both bags.

Now make two holes on each side with a hole punch or installer. If there are eyelets, then insert the eyelets into the holes and fix, if not, simply insert the ribbons on both sides.
