How to Make Tissue Filled Shopping Bags
Just Say Charge is one of my favourite “old” sets of stamps. Remember the internet craze when this stamp came on the scene? These stamps helped to make My Favourite Things a successful business. If you do now own this stamp set, you will be happy to know they are available in digi format. How fun is that!
Aside from the tissue filled bags, you will find a couple of tips along the way.
Supplies: Tissue, Two coloured images, Pop Dots, scotch tape and exacto knife (not in photo)
Cut out one set of shopping bags
Cut tissue into 1/2″ to 1/2″. Fold tissue into a triangular shape, using your exacto knife to help you.
Fold each piece of tissue into the size that fits each bag.
Once you have the size you want, scotch tape them into place.
Scotch tape tissue in place.
To add dimension, place pop dots under the image.
Create a fancy ribbon by folding as seen in the above photo. This ribbon has wire on the top and bottom which works beautifully with this technique; no pins are required to hold the folds in place.
My 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4 paper went through the Cuttlebug. My dot folder was used numerous times to cover the entire area. By turning the paper to the wrong side, you can push out the dots that were flattened in the Cuttlebug by lightly pushing with a stylus or another blunt object.
Here you see a close-up of the tissue in the shopping bags.
