- Medium white gift bag with stiff handles (plain gift bags are inexpensive and easy to find at your local craft or party store)
- White flower textured wrapping paper
- 1-1/2-inch wide white satin ribbon
- 1/8-inch wide satin ribbon
- 6 small white flowers cut from a wedding pick
- 1 white tassel

- Continue to add glue to the ribbon, a few inches at a time, as you continue to wrap the ribbon around the handle, slightly overlapping the ribbon.
- Finish by cutting the ribbon and gluing the end behind the handle where it meets with the inside of the bag. Repeat this process with the other handle.
- Cut a piece of the 1-1/2-inch wide satin ribbon the entire width of the front of the gift bag. Glue the ribbon to the front of the gift bag 2 inches from the top. Small amounts of glue can be added to the cut edges of each side of the ribbon to prevent fraying.
- Cut an 8-inch piece of the 1/8-inch wide satin ribbon. Fold it in half and cut the ends at an angle.
- Separate the tails and glue inside of the center top fold making an upside down V shape.
- Glue the folded edge of the ribbon tails to the front of the bag onto the top of the 1-wide white ribbon strip, centering the ribbon under the handles.
- Glue the tassel string to the center of the ribbon.
- Glue the two rings together so they are slightly overlapping.
