Hello Friends! Esther here, and today sharing a Paper Bag Pocket of Encouragement. It's stuffed full of Bible verses, hymns, and inspirational sayings to cheer and encourage.
Here's how I created my pocket
(Maybe you'll see a pink and white polka-dot / denim version later this year!!)
- Start with a lunch sack
- Fold the top down and glue in place
- Punch or die cut a partial circle in the center of the bottom flap
- Use decorative scissors along the top of the bottom flap
- Fold bottom flap up
- Cut designer paper to decorate your panels
