Brick Bag with Tag

Howdy Crafters - I created another rectangle bag - this one is 9 inches tall - and a bit wider than my 6 inch bag - thanks for stopping by and be blessed~Gail~
 A quart jar of popcorn will fit inside this bag
Click HERE to see photos of how to assemble a gift bag. 

RECIPE
*2 Pieces of 12 x12 Designer Paper [I used 2 pieces of the same cardstock 12 x12 inches square and cut off 2 1/2 inch strip to glue to one piece of the 12x12 inch square paper to get a 12 x 14 piece of decorative paper to create the bag]
*Jute or Ribbon for handle
*2 pieces of Recycled Cardboard for bottom of bag 3 x 3/4 inches - may have to trim some off to fit snug inside the bag - I glue them together - then glue one side and add to the bottom of the inside of the bag
*Glue or glue gun -[glue will hold better]

*1 inch strips of cardstock to reinforce the top of bag where the holes will be punched for the handle
Scor-Pal or other scoring tool or ruler and bone folder
We R Memory Keepers Hole Punch
With 14 inch length of paper at top of Scor-pal score in inches as follows: 3 3/4 - 3 - 3 3/4 - 3 - 1/2
the 1/2 inch will be used to glue the bag together
with 12 inch length of paper at the top of the Scor-pal - this will be the TOP of your bag - score 1 inch
turn the paper and place the other end of the 12 inch length of paper at the top of the Scor-pal - this will be the bottom of the bag - score 2 inches
