I started with 2 pieces of 12x12 pattern paper. This pattern paper is by Dream Street and it is a little havier in weight so I suggest the heavier cardstock and not thin pieces.
I simply overlapped the pieces and used a zigzag stitch. You will do this on all three sides to creat a sort of "pocket"
After I placed the gift inside (I usually put it in tissue paper) I folded it like you would if you were wrapping a present and stitched it up. I could have also just cut enough excess to create a "pillow" but that is up to you.
After I stitched it closed it looked like this.
I used some wrapping ribbon that can be found at any craft store. It is a bit thicker and more coarse than regular ribbon so it keeps its shape really well.
That's it - and it is pretty strong. It wont tear easily and it is super cute! Just another way to use up your stash.
I bet you could even "quilt some together to make it larger or to just have a differnt look.
Have a wonderful Saturday!
