Hi friends, I pilled out my ‘Bags’ book again and made this Double Pocket Bucket Bag inspired by a 1970s suede version in the book.
This is a nice and easy gift bag to made and it’s very roomy too!
You can have the sides folded outwards to create the bucket-style handbag shown, or you can fold them inwards and have a more gift bag look.
SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THIS GIFT BAG
12 x 12 paper pad available here.
Plastic ‘D’ rings are available here.
Chunky Alphabet dies are available here.

2 pieces of 12′ x 12′ card for the front and back.
Score along one side at 7.1/2 & 11.1/2

If you want the gift bag to fold flat, then you will need to add the scorelines I mention in the tutorial below.
