The Pixie Cottage's Saturday Tutorial

Brown Paper Bag Wallet 

Materials Required 

Brown Paper Bag (Lunch Bag)

Design Paper

Rubber Stamps - Love you a Latte Pixie Cottage Stamp Set

Distress Ink

Memento Ink

Staz On Ink

Adhesives

Step One

Cut the Paper Bag length wise at 3 1/2"

Step Two

a) Tape the flap (bottom of the lunch bag) down

b) Tape the open end (top of the lunch bag) together

Step Three

Score the paper bag at 4" and at 8 1/2" as in photo below. Note position of bag in photo below.

Step Four

Fold the paper bag along scored lines, as in photo below. 

Step Five

Cut 6 pieces of design paper and adhere to paper bag.

2 pieces sized 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" (for outside and inside left panel)

2 pieces sized 4 1/4 x 3 1/4"  (for inside and back center panel)

2 pieces sized 3 1/4" x 1 3/4" (for outside and inside right panel)

Close up shot of inside.  Very similar to a wallet!

Step Six

Get creative!  Stamp, stick, color, punch, etc..... Once you have finished close the wallet with a paper clip, or a binder clip as I have below.  I added a nice little ribbon to mine to make it a bit more fancier.

Given the stamp theme, I am adding a Starbucks card to my wallet.  You can also put money in yours for that hard to shop for loved one.  The fact that you went out of your way to create a fancy wallet for the money really shows the recipient just how much you do care.

Happy Crafting!
