How to make reusable fabric gift bags:
1. Cut your fabric
First off, you'll need to gather your materials. You can use any type of fabric. You'll need at least 2 pieces of fabric that are the same size. Start by cutting two rectangles of fabric – one for the outside and one for the inside – to the size you need for your gift.
2. Sew the bag's sides
Take the two pieces of fabric and place them right sides together. Sew the sides of the fabric together, leaving the top open. Repeat for the other side.
3. Create the bag's flat bottom
To create the bag's flat bottom, turn the lined bag inside out and pinch the corners. Make sure the side seam and the bottom seam meet each other, and then sew across the corner. Repeat for the other side.
4. Sew the bag's casing
Turn the bag right side out, so the fabric is now visible. Pin the top seam down and then sew around the top edges to create a casing for your ribbon. Make sure to leave a gap to thread through your ribbon.
5. Add your ribbon drawstring
Take your ribbon or cord and feed it through the casing, making sure it comes out on the other side. Tie a knot at the end of each ribbon, and you're done!
Tips & Tricks
- Choose a fabric that is sturdy and doesn't fray easily.
- You can use ribbons, cords, or strings as a drawstring.
- You can add embellishments to give it some oomph – pom-poms or tassels, anyone?
- For extra protection, you can even line the bag with batting or interfacing to protect fragile gifts.
That's it, folks! Now you've got an eco-friendly option for wrapping your wonderful presents. Not only is it good for the environment, but it's also a thoughtful and stylish way to show your love and appreciation. And let's be honest, who wouldn't love a cute gift bag like this?
