Step-by-step

Step 1

You can see everything you need at a glance in this photo: first, print out the craft template on a sheet of A4 to create your mini glitter bag. Next, take a pair of scissors, glue and – of course - your favourite edding glitter pens. Now it’s time to get decorating!

Step 2

Design your patterns and lettering however you fancy – using your favourite colours and a good dose of glitter.

Step 3

The brush nib of the edding 1340 is perfect for sweeping strokes and delicate touches. So you can easily create dainty decorative designs – the perfect finish for your glitter gift bag.

Step 4

Now it’s time to make the actual paper pocket: Make a cut as far as the dotted line at each of the points marked 1, 2 and 3. Now carefully fold in all the dotted lines and the long continuous line at point “A”.

Step 5

Next, grab the glue stick: smear the fold with glue and stick side “A” to “A” and “D” to “D”.

Step 6

It’s now time to get personal! Place your chosen present carefully inside the decorated glitter bag: whether it’s a mini surprise, a loving message or a sweet little treat, whatever it is - it now has its own place to shine!

Step 7

Finally, stick both “B” flaps to “C” to seal the bag. And there you have it! Your sweet little triangular glitter gift bag is ready to give to your loved one!
