The video isn’t available at this time. Looks like it will be another good one though.
I am not sure why it wasn’t available earlier, but it seems to be working fine now…
Beautiful bags…and so easy!! Thank you Lexi!
That was very informative and very clever!
What a nice way to match up my cards or tags with small gifts, all year round. Definitely going to give this a try. Thank you Lexi! ☺️
I Love making things like this Lexi thanks for the tutorial. I will probably make a bunch more. I used a long handled paint brush to get the bottom to stick and art glitter glue instead of tape because the area was too small.
These are just darling–like you’d find in a fancy boutique! Now I just have to actually try & follow your directions with all the measurements–hope I can do it!
HOW SWEET! THANK YOU LEXI!!! LOVE the patterned papers & the little clip! PERFECT for the upcoming holidays! 😉
Great idea and easy. Perfect for when I don’t have the right size bag on hand. Thanks for sharing!
A good idea when a person wants bag and tag to coordinate out of the same designer paper.
Oh my word, your little bags are darling Lexi! Love the idea of making your own using patterned paper. Such a great idea to create a matching ensemble. Thanks for the inspiration!
those are so cute!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to make some darling bags!
Love everyone’s bags! And such a useful tutorial for year round.
WHO WON????? 😉
CONGRATULATIONS, SADIE!!!! 😉
