The normal box in a bags usually hold small 3x3 cards or notecard sets. I wanted a bag that would not only be large enough to hold a full size set of cards, but I also wanted to put the journal in it. I ended up making it big enough to add the stamp set also, but forgot to include the candy I wanted to put in :(
The little tag hanging on the front was cased from Chiaki Haverstick on her satchel bags.
I do not have a step by step picture tutorial ready yet but it is pretty simple.
Cut a piece of cardstock (bottom of your bag) 7 1/2 x 5
score each side at 1/2 and cut one side of the tab, fold in and glue.
The dsp or cardstock for the sides of your bag are 6x12. You will need two this size. Place your sticky strip or other tape along one edge of the bottom and place around the bottom of your box starting in the middle on one small side.
Decorate as you wish. It is easier to add the bottom border before attaching to the bottom of the box.
Looking back, I think I would have added something along the top edge also. The handles are almost 2 inches wide. Since this was ribbon they went on very easy.
