Gift Pouches DIY

You will be surprised what you will find when you start cleaning out your cupboards. All that sheet music you have been hanging onto from those music lessons years ago can now be put to good use. There is no need to go trawling the Internet to find designer papers, any sheet music will do.

You will be amazed how easy it is to apply this decorative paper to so many other projects like bunting, paper butterflies, garlands, paper cones, flowers and gift-wrapping. If you need a large quantity, photocopy extra for the job before you start cutting up the sheets. You will get one pouch from an A4 sheet of music.

Start by downloading the gift pouch template and trace onto sheet music.  Score and fold the paper with a bone folder where shown on the template. Using 5mm double-sided tape, glue the side fold to the opposite side of the pouch and fold the side pleats. Turn the bottom flap over and glue into place with double-sided tape.
