I know I’m a little late for this party but it was well worth it. So glad to have discovered your videos on making gift bags with the scrapbook paper pad sheets. I have often wondered what to with them but you have given me new insight on what do and you made it easy. I made my first bag and it turned out great per your instructions. Thank you! Tina Means Artistries
Wow! I love the size of this bag...So much that I enlarged it to a 12"x12"8".. I used your dimensions, only enlarged it just a bit on the sides. It came out beautiful. I used it to make a bag filled with Christmas gifts, and I sure needed it! My friend will love it more than the gift! Thanks for sharing. Your wonderful :)
Simply beautiful and brilliant! ♥ Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You've breathed new life for those papers I didn't know what to do with and were too pretty to cut. Hugs from Orlando, FL! 😘
Love it! What a perfect thing to make with those beautiful sheets you don't want to cut! I know what I'll be making a stash of today!!!! Thanks for all you do!!!!
Wow! Oh! Wow! and it folds flat ... right up my street. Will not be making one for a couple of weeks. I am enjoying some sunshine where I used to live in Turkey. Thanks for sharing 💗
I think I have bought every gizmo and gadget on the market to make boxes and bags, which never seem to turn out the way the demos show! Have already made three of these brilliant bags and with Christmas on the horizon, will clearly be making more! Thank you for the very clear instructions,such a great tutorial! Many thanks for saving my sanity!
(watching in 2020) Thank you so much for sharing! It's great to know how to make a fold-flat bag, about the hinges for the side pieces, and video info on learning to make the tassels! Thanks for your informative videos!
Just found your video and so glad I did. Your instructions are so clear, you stay in focus and you stick to the point. I will definitely try this bag tomorrow. I’ve watched several of your videos even though they are old but just what I need. Thanks for your time and great projects.
I just made this bag. Thank you for your video!! I love it! The bag I made is for my granddaughter's graduation gift! I also made a box using the 12x12 paper!
Another perfectly executed fold flat and store project. I am loving all the fold-flat projects, makes it so easy for make-ahead packaging to have ready for my craft shows. TFS, Donna, in California.
OMG!...this is brilliant!...I don't scrapbook, so I had taken all of these type papers out of my paper pad and was going to give them to a library...not anymore!...I will definitely be making some of these bags...Thank you sooooooooo much!...I love your tutorials!...BTW, I have this paper pad!...so was thrilled when I saw your tutorial this morning...have a great day! Thanks for the tip with the cello tape!
I LOVED that paper pad. I actually took the sheet that said love out and was really goin nuts trying to figure something out for it. It was so pretty. I hate those large sheets that are so cute but you don’t know what to do with them.
Thanks so much for sharing! I use the larger bags so much more than smaller. I get lots of inspiration from many crafters Sam, but you are by far my favorite! Your projects are always beautiful, & you explain things clearly. As a fairly new (about 2 years) paper crafter, I learn from every video you share. Happy Crafting 💜
I have always wondered what they wanted us to do with those fancy center based 12 x 12 pages! They are so pretty and I have usually cut out the image from the center to use in layouts...and hated ruining the page. This is such a great way to use those up! Great video! TY. I wonder if I still have my Christmas page....or I may have already purged it. Hope that it is still there now! LOL Thanks again!
Sam this is such a good tutorial, you explain it so well! will certainly give this one a go. I don't think I'll ever need to buy a paper carry bag ever again. x
I am so glad you shared this with us, I have been trying to figure out what to do with the papers just like this one, which I have. Now I can make something useful with them.
I so wish I had seen this 2wks ago. I made a 12x12 bag. It turned out very similar to yours. I wish I had thought of the eyelets for the handle. This is a great idea. Brilliant as always Sam. 😍
So lovely and precise and professional looking. Love the tassels as well. I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your talents. I really do appreciate this. I also wish I had your pretty little hands. Oh well, I will have to make due with the paws I have. 🤣😂
Sam OMG I am in heaven!! These bags are unbelievably stunning!!!! I have ALWAYS wanted to find a way to make a bigger bag like this!! You are amazing. Thank you SO very much for this project. I am blown away and so excited to make lots of these. 💕❤️ My most favorite tutorial I have ever seen!!
Loooooooooooove it!!!😍 i just got some craft Smith pads and i didnt know what to do with the papers with a big sentiment over the whole 12x12 😱 i Will do this!! Omg!!! I want those papers 😍 could only get the newer though😅
Can you tell us what size your grommets are that you used on this bag. Great bag btw - made one for a friend's birthday yesterday and she loved it - but my grommets were too small for the shopping bag handles I was reusing.
I love watching your channel and getting a lot of tips, but am disappointed in that the things you have for sale, dies, stamps, etc., are not available for shipment to the U.S. Anyway, keep on inspiring us all.
Hi Edith, I don't have anything for sale nor do I have a shop the product I use is what I've brought or been given and then I share links to where you can buy it. Its out of my hands regarding shipping unfortunately, you would have to take that up with the individual companies. Craft Stash are a huge UK online store who offer a flat rate to the US and stock most of the product I use. This video you have commented on is old and the Craft Smith papers I have used were from the US and I believe Craft Smith is stocked in Michaels, we don't have it at all in the UK. Head over to Craft Stash, you will find lots of great products there.

What paper to use for this bag ?
Sam, what do you call that shoestring-like handle that you used and where can I purchase them?
purchase them?
Wowza....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those paper packs are sold here in Canada at Michaels craft store. They are $12 Canadian
brilliant
Absolutely beautiful. What is the name of the paper pack you used?
Hi Janet, sorry it's a very old video and I can't remember. It was by Craft Smith I believe.
Can you tell us what size your grommets are that you used on this bag. Great bag btw - made one for a friend's birthday yesterday and she loved it - but my grommets were too small for the shopping bag handles I was reusing.
Ingenious. Where do you get your handles?
Thanks Debbie, I take them off the bags I get when clothes shopping. You can also purchase them in bulk from Amazon, eBay and Alibaba 😊
Thank you!!!! This is awesome.
Where can I find the link to the tassels please?
I love watching your channel and getting a lot of tips, but am disappointed in that the things you have for sale, dies, stamps, etc., are not available for shipment to the U.S. Anyway, keep on inspiring us all.
Hi Edith, I don't have anything for sale nor do I have a shop the product I use is what I've brought or been given and then I share links to where you can buy it. Its out of my hands regarding shipping unfortunately, you would have to take that up with the individual companies.
Craft Stash are a huge UK online store who offer a flat rate to the US and stock most of the product I use.
This video you have commented on is old and the Craft Smith papers I have used were from the US and I believe Craft Smith is stocked in Michaels, we don't have it at all in the UK.
Head over to Craft Stash, you will find lots of great products there.
Wow, you did all that really fast, did you speed up the video lol? Great tutorial as always, thank you!!
Hi its me again but can you tell me where to get that scoreing board thank you
It's an old Stampin Up one which I no longer use. I now use, what I feel is a better one by Hunkydory and it's linked below my videos.
Oh ok thank u
U have done. Tfs your videos. Smiles 🙋♀️👍😊🌷
