We used decrative sissors to cut the bag shorter and cut off the handles. Your can have the bag flat and cut straight across. Punch a hole for the ribbon on each side and pull it through and make a knot. I used glue dots to keep the ribbon in place around the bag.

( The flower directions were more complicated so I will put the magazines directions on. Don't be intimited the flowers are a great thing to know how to do. The posibilities with them are endless!)
What you'll need Various colors of tissue paper, scissors (regular or decorative-edged). floral wire, hot-glue gun.
Make it Cut tissue paper into 5-7 inch rectangles. Stack 3 to 6 pieces, alternating colors. Accordion-fold the tissue paper lengthwise and wrap wire around the middle (before I separated the tissue paper I cut each end at an angle. It made them look like petals) . Gently separate each layer, pulling upward toward the middle of the flower. Attach finished flowers to the bag with hot-glue gun.
