Mens Wash Bag in Turquoise Mini KitCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed all sheets onto 300gsm smooth card, printed the reverse with matching background, cut out, scored and made up following the instructions, using wet glue to stick the side panels and strong dst for other parts.

I added the greeting tag before glueing down the top fold, so the ribbon is glued at the same time, but you could also punch a hole to fasten the tag.

When you fold down the scored sides the bag closes itself, so then you can add the side tag and buttons.

I added velcro dots to fasten down the side tags as shown in the instructions. you can see one end in my second photo.

A novel design to present a gift for the men! I think that next time I will try out using 200 or 250gsm smooth card or photo paper, as the 300gsm has a lot of body for the folding and closing.

However, I was pleased with the end result.
