This concept/idea was first introduced to me by a swap mate, Briana (Bree), and she told me where she got the idea: http://confessionsofaribbonaddict.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
(Check Jody Morrow’s entry for August 17, 2008)
I like the idea so much that I made my own template for it, complete with my graphics. Thank you so much for this wonderful idea, and for sharing your idea with us, Jody! Scroll down to the bottom of the page for this freebie, and enjoy!

Materials:
- one sheet of cardstock
- your favorite adhesive
- piece of 1/8” grosgrain ribbon
Instructions:
- Print out the designed template below on a white sheet cardstock. The entire sheet has a print size of 8” x 10”. It includes two small tags – one is blank for you to write your own sentiment and one says “Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year”.
- Please refer to Jody Morrow’s pictorial instructions on how to assemble the bag – cut and fold along corresponding lines.
- Punch holes where indicated at the top, thread a ribbon, add the tag and tie into a bow.
- Enjoy giving it away!
