Pretty Handbag Gift Bag using Whimsy & Wonder

#1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles – Pretty Handbag Gift Bag using Whimsy & Wonder

3 and a half years ago, I did a mini series of videos showing how to make handbags in different sizes.

This one was possibly the most popular ‘remake’ size that I saw shared on social media afterwards, by all of you, so I decided to make it again, all these years later, but make it festive!

The fantastic Whimsy & Wonder suite has certainly caught my eye, and yours too, and it’s nicely timed for me to show you how to use the paper and products you’ve all been buying!

It’s an easy handbag to make, and you could pop a gift inside with some tissue paper or shredded paper on top, and then gift it away just as it is.

Charming and pretty!

I hope you love it, and if you haven’t made one of these before, do have a go. They’re lovely to look at.
