INSTRUCTIONS:

TIPS:

~I would recommend you make your first totes from cardstock as it is easier to work with.
~Use Tombow Glue. It works better than Tear & Tape.
~Hold your Glued pieces together for a bit so the pieces stay in place.
~It is easier to decorate your Tote while the pieces are flat.

1-Die Cutting:

~Choose the Stamps or Dies you want to decorate your Tote.
Die Cut Two of each piece:
~Tote Bag pieces: DSP Print. Fold and crease all Score Lines with your Bone Folder.
~Handles: Lemon Lolly cardstock.
~Star Fish: Lemon Lolly cardstock

2-Decorate Your Bag:

~Glue on your Handles
~Add your Starfish to the center front of each.

3-Finish Your Bag:

~Cut off the Side Flaps from one Tote Bag piece.
~Add Glue Dots on the bottom of each inner Side Flap.
~Put Glue Dots on the top of each square bottom Flap as shown in the video.
~Fold the sides so the bottom is squared. Repeat with the other piece.
~Put Glue on one Side Flap and attach it to the other piece.
~Add Glue to the lower Bottom Flap and the last Side Flap. Attach making sure the small Square Flap is on the inside.
~Fill with a variety of treats or smaller gifts.
