Large Fold Flat Designer Series Paper Bag. I love a good fold flat bag and these ones are not only pretty and large, they are also made from Designer Series Paper that is currently in the Buy 3 Get a 4th FREE Promotion. Find more details further down the page. I love any excuse to stock up on Designer Series Paper, and knowing that these will all be around for some months to come is such a bonus.
The inspiration for the design of my bag came from a website I found through Pinterest that shows the templates needed to make a whole variety of packaging aimed at the retail industry. I just took the template and made it my own by using our stunningly beautiful Papers. The Garden Lane and Magnolia Lane designs work so well together, they are basically part of the same Magnolia Lane Suite of products. Both are gorgeous, although I see the Garden Lane paper as being a little more towards the masculine end of design.
I particularly liked this particular design of bag because it has both handles and a tie between them to keep everything safe. Not only does it add the practicality of keeping things safe, but it also looks really pretty. The style reminds me of the bags you get at those really expensive boutiques, you know the ones I mean!
One of the real benefits of a fold flat bag is that it does just that, it folds flat, which is perfect for storage. If you need to make a few, you can finish them off and then simply fold them flat. I have added labels to both of my bags, although the papers are so pretty, they almost don’t need it, but I was following the shopping bag theme, so it seemed right. On the Magnolia Lane bag I added some Pink Rhinestones and on the Garden Lane bag I coloured some Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Mossy Meadow Blend. I love that we can have Rhinestones in so many fantastic colours, just by colouring them with Blends.

Lovely bag, Liz. Just made a tiny tiny version of this bag to hold 2 small snack bars or a Ferrero or Lindt Ball for my 19 vet nurses. Going to make a few of your bags as gifts. People really appreciate home made. Thank you for very clear instructions. XX Mal, Melbourne, Australia
