They are a great gift to give when you're not sure what to give to a friend but you want to give something. They're ideal as thank you gifts, birthday parties, wedding gifts, etc.
Making fabric gift bags with these easy step-by-step instructions is easy to do. You can make lots of different variations, the ideas are endless. Let me know what kind you make.
If you need to make a bigger size gift bag put your fabric on the floor then put your gifts onto the fabric, measure 1 inch on either side of your gifts and double it.
Measure width of gifts + 2 inches, double it = width of fabric.
Measure width of gifts + 2 inches, double it = width of fabric.
Measure height of gifts + double width of ribbon + 1/4 inch (for hem) + 2 inches = height of fabric.
If you are making fabric gift bags without the ribbon:
Measure height of gifts + 1/4 inch (for hem) + 3 inches = height of fabric.
The size of your gift bag will depend greatly on the size of your items. This size gift bag is an ideal size for dried fruit, nuts, confetti, small chocolates, etc.
The same method applies to any size gift bag.
If you are not making a double hem, sew straight down. Trim the fabric around the two edges.
For what occasion did you make them for? Birthday, wedding, baby shower.
