Well, lovelies. It’s time to bid adieu to another uber-AMAZING week here on SMP – and since we know y’all are still reeling from the big dose of St. Patty’s Day inspiration we featured earlier this afternoon, we just HAD to ask the oh-so-lovely Shawna of Event Styling by Shawna Marie to join us in wrapping up the week. And, really, what better way to officially kick off your holiday festivities than with a sweet DIY all aglow in Irish Green?!? So, cozy on up for an evening of crafty goodness with Shawna and HELMUTWALKER Photography… and then have a safe and happy weekend, lovelies! xoxo
Supplies
green striped digital template
white paper
glue stick
hole punch
scissors
scalloped edge scissors
ribbon
Instructions
First, print the green striped digital template on white paper. Then:
1. Cut around all the edges of the except for one side so you have a white edge to add glue to.
2. Fold the paper where the stripes meet at the center.
3. Add glue to the white area of the paper and match up the stripes.
4. Fold the bottom side of the bag up a half inch and add glue.
5. Cut the top of the bag with scalloped scissors to make a decorative border.
6. With the hole punch, make two holes at the top of the bag at the center.
7. Complete the favor bag by looping a ribbon through the holes to create a bow.
