2011 is coming to it's end so we thought it might be a good idea to show our wall calendar for 2012, filled with pattern, patterns and more patterns of all sorts. The Wall Calendar is available in our online shop.

Paper bag making
Christmas is just a few days away so we thought we would share one of our favourite tricks, how to make lovely paper-bags!
Today is also the last day that Freya is with us in the studio, and she is phenomenal with all kinds of paper cutting and folding so we thought that we would ask her to make a little "how - to" and here it is;
1. You will need a glue stick, a hole puncher, paper (magazines, wrapping paper etc works perfectly) and some string and a scissor.
2. Start by folding over the long side of the paper by about an inch and glue down.
3.Turn the paper over and almost fold in half, leaving about 1 inch extra. Fold this extra over and glue
4.Now we will make the bottom of the bag, fold up about a third of the way up. Fold this out and crease down. Fold up over half way, see image. Either glue, tape or close the bottom with a nice sticker.
5. To make the sides of the bag we need to fold them on both sides.
7. Make holes for the handles with a hole puncher on both sides and make handles out of ribbon or string.
Voila, done!
Thank you Freya!
