It's teeny tiny...so cute! :D
I used tiger tail beading wire to make the handles. I just added some beads...but it was SO finnicky to work with! Mostly only where I had to fix the wire through the holes that I punched in the bag (using one of my husband's tools from his tool box, 'cause I don't have a teeny tiny punch) - I'd like to find an easier way of attaching the handles though - I looped the wire through the hole that I punched, brought the wire back up and then fastened it with a crimp bead. To try and cover up the crimp bead, I threaded on this gold flower bead:
It didn't cover this one so well because the bead couldn't fit over the crimp bead...but anyway. If anyone has a neat and simple idea for how to attach a beaded handle like this, please gimme gimme gimme! :)
To finish it off I added a wooden fower bead:
Then, after placing your gift inside, cut a small piece of tissue (tissue works better than tissue paper because it's so small) and cover the gift with it.
There's not much one can gift in such a tiny bag (maybe a chocolate truffle), but it's still cute. And I love cute stuff. :D
If you want this gift box template, just ask me for my gift box template no. 1. It's a template that I got from the net and it's by Donovan, but I didn't save the link to where I found it...

Thanks also for the comment love on my blog! I was feeling a little blue, and you made my day! I will try to draw up a little diagram to show how I fold that square into animals....it is a little tricksy....esp since that was my first bear and I wasn't sure how he would turn out!
Thanks again for hosting!
What a sweet, sweet bag... and love those bits on the handle.
