Fabricate Friday – Sweet Treat Lidded Box

Hello and welcome.  Thanks for spending some time with me today.  I hope you are off to a great weekend.  I am heading on a road trip (in my new car) with my best freind for a lovely road trip to Vancouver Island for some whale watching and high tea drinking at a famous hotel called the Empress.  I’ve included links here so you can live vicariously through me.  Tonight I will dine in a fancy restaurant in Vancouver called Hawksworth Restaurant too, I’m pretty excited and I still have the morning to work at the salon before I take off  (a wedding party, so I can’t leave early).   I will most likely post pictures via Instagram (search Susanne_Netz)  and Facebook (there’s a link on the right hand side of this blog) so you can follow along if you would like. I won’t gloat too much but rather wish that you too have some holiday time this summer or at least take the time to get out of the craft room and enjoy the sunshine.

Today’s project is a simple one, but none the less cute.  Check it out.

Fabricate Friday – A Starbucks replicated bag

Oh, coffee…it’s a wonderful thing.  I call it my attitude adjustment in the morning.  I would be a serious grouch without it.  So I often buy pouches of the instant Starbucks coffee for myself and the salon (don’t knock it till you try it…it’s really good) and that is where I got the inspiration for this little gift bag.  Check out the video and if you need any of the supplies I used in this video please just scroll down after the video to the visual product link below and it will whisk you away to my online store where you can shop 24/7.

Starbucks replicated bag

  • That partial score is folded like an accordion.
  • Notch that accordion fold so you get a V shape when flat.

Fabricate Friday – Pauline’s Jam Jar Bag

Hi friends.

I thought I would share with you a project that my sister asked me to create to house 2 small jam jars.  As she lives in Calgary, I had to send them to her and it was really convenient that I was able to fold these bags flat.  Anyway, check out the video and as always if you like or want any of the products you see me use just click on the visual links below the video and it will take you to my online store.

Jam Jar Bag

You’ll need 2 pieces of DSP (pretty paper) sized 10 by 9 3/4.  The short side is basically the right way up (meaning if you have a pattern you’ll want it to run in the proper direction NOT the way I did it in my video).

  • Short side at the top score both pieces at 3 and 9 inches.
  • Turn so the long side (10 inches) is on the top of your score board and score both sides at 2 inches.

Check out the video for a how to tutorial (albeit slightly confusing but I’m sure you’ll figure it out). Enjoy the show.
