2-Piece Nugget Bag Tutorial

You've asked for it and here it is! This is a cute 2-piece nugget bag that I give to all the guests at my Stamping Parties. On the back of it I have an information label with my name, my Blog and my SU Website. I received a similar one for a swap at Convention – thank you Jean from Virginia! My version is a little smaller and uses “Summer Picnic” double-sided designer paper. Of course any of our Stampin’ Up! Designer Series double-sided paper would look great.

Directions

Cut double-sided designer paper 3” x 4½” as shown below. The next part is the hardest thing you’ll have to do – decide which side of the beautiful paper you want to use for the ‘outside’ of your bag!

After you decide which side of the paper will be the outside of the bag, score and cut the piece according to the diagram. Cut along red lines; fold according to dotted lines. (See diagram below).

Width: Score at 1”, 1½” and 2½”

Length: Score at ½” and 2½”

Cut out long sides as shown below (refer to diagram).

With Corner Rounder Punch, round the corners of the narrow end where sides were cut out. This will be the ‘flap’ of your bag.

Add ribbon for handle, fold and adhere sides with Sticky Strip. To finish the bag add an embellishment such as a brad on top flap. Add Velcro dots for the fastener. Now you can make a 'designer nugget bag' for any occasion!
