For today’s craft, I’m doing something simple because I rushed home after basking in the glory of the Tigers’ win over the Indians. (Yeah, I live in Cleveland but I’ll always root for Detroit.) I decided to make a small gift bag based on this tutorial for a present that I have to give to a friend.
I started off with a map of Michigan and cut it up into a rectangle.
Then I reinforced the top of it using the cardboard from a shaving razor container because I’m eco-friendly like that. And yes, I do use a Gillete Fusion for men, in case you were wondering. It gives me the closest shave ever.
After I reinforced it, I glued it up in all the right places and folded the bottoms in. But it still needed handles!
Enter yarn that I unraveled from a scarf that I got as a present in 8th grade or similar…
This gift bag has been handled. What. Now.
Ok, if you look inside the bag you can see that there’s nothing. I might have just wanted to do this craft because I wanted a cute gift bag, ok! I have no friends that need to get presents in the near future!!
And yes, the map is upside down, but that’s just a political statement letting everyone know that there there is no such thing as upside down when it comes to geographical representations of the earth.
This is my favorite one yet!
ReplyDeleteI use a man razor too! That's what I took away from this craft tutorial post.
