---------------------------------

Take the DSP  for the Gift Bagand score as follows:-

Long Side Full Scores - 1 1/2", 5 3/4", 7" & 11 1/2"

Long Side Part Scores - 3/4" & 6 1/2" down to approx 4"

Short Side - 6 1/2"

Fold and burnish all the full score lines (you can leave out the part score lines until later). Hold it so that the skinny rectangle is to the right and the horizontal score line in along the bottom. Cut up all these score lines to release the square, to make these tabs notch in ever so slightly. Make sure you keep your cut to the side of the rectangle straight.  Cut away the small rectangle in the bottom right and the notch both the top and bottom of the remaining long skinny rectangle.

Add tear and tape to the the skinny rectangle, fold round and attach to the opposite side. Fold in the back and sides and the bottom, then glue down the front piece to create your base.

Pinch in the top of the bag, those part score lines will help the bag close nicely and neatly. 

Wrap the Real strip of card stock round the top of the bag and adhere the ends together. Make sure the join is offset. You will need to trim off excess card stock.

To Create the Bow, fold the DSP in Half and Draw a shape kind of like an eye and cut out, making sure you keep a small section attached on the fold , like this

Open out the DSP, then fold each side into the middle and secure down with glue - I actually used my glue gun for speed. so you have a shape like this....

wrap the thin strip around the centre to cover the joins and add the two strips of DSP behind, once you have added banner tails. Add this to the belly band.

Finally Create the gift tag by folding the card stock along to score line and adding the DSP to the front and the basic white to the inside. Pop a hole into the top corner, thread in some bakers twine and tie this to the belly band.
