Make Your Own Window Tote Gift Bag


Make beautiful presents using materials around the house or the office with simple and creative gift wrapping ideas and techniques.

In this video series, decorating whiz, Amy Snively, demonstrates how to make your own adorable window tote gift bag with office supplies.

This one is a little bit complex, but still easy enough to do and absolutely amazing.


Things you'll need:

  • Colored printer paper
  • Acetate transparency / a page protector
  • Tissue paper
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • Twine
  • Chopstick (or a pencil)
  • Cellophane tape
  • A Jell-O box


Tip: Instead of a printer paper you can use old magazine.

First thing Amy does, is to cut the seamed edges off of the page protector so that she will have a little square of transparent plastic to use for the window.

In the next step you will learn how to form the skeleton of the bag using a small box.
