How to Make a Fabric Gift Bag in 5 Minutes
First things first, gather your materials. You'll need:
- Fabric (we recommend using a festive print)
- Ribbon (for tying the bag closed)
- Sewing machine or needle and thread (if sewing by hand)
Step 1: Cut your fabric to size. The size you cut depends on the size of the gift you're wrapping. As a general rule, you'll want the fabric to be roughly twice the width of the gift and roughly 1.5 times the height of the gift.
Step 2: Fold the fabric in half (with the right sides facing each other) and sew the side seams together. If you're using a sewing machine, use a straight stitch with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. If you're sewing by hand, use a whip stitch.
Step 3: Fold the top of the bag down (towards the wrong side of the fabric) about 1 inch and sew it in place. This will create a casing for your ribbon.
Step 4: Turn the bag right side out and tie a ribbon through the casing at the top to close the bag.
Step 5: Admire your handiwork and present your gift in style!
Tips & Tricks
If you're short on time and don't have a sewing machine, you can use fabric glue instead of sewing. Simply glue the side seams instead of sewing them and glue the top casing down instead of sewing it.
If you don't have any ribbon on hand, you can use string, twine, or even a strip of fabric to tie the bag closed.
Be sure to iron your fabric before starting to ensure a crisp, clean look.
If you want to make the bag even fancier, add some embellishments like beads, sequins, or embroidery.
Now, sit back, relax, and revel in your newfound gift-wrapping prowess.
