Hi everyone, earlier today I shared a tutorial showing you how to make a lovely School Satchel Style Gift Bag.

I made this red version during Tuesday’s Facebook Live, it’s such a great looking gift bag and a nice size too!

I loved how real this one looks and thought they would be great for back to school gifts, new school gifts or if your homeschooling currently, they could be used as a nice way to hold some treats for rewards etc

I love the buckle details and the real looking label.

These bags fold flat making them perfect to make now and store away for later.

You have a large pocket on the front and then the large main area.

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THESE
