I’ve been thinking for a little while that it would be fun to take the same design and use it on different size versions of the same type of project, and in today’s video I’ve done just that with birthday gift bags!
Two out of three designs are made with pre-bought bags that I decorated with die cuts, and the smallest is completely die cut, bag included. Depending on the size that you use, you can make everything from party favors to party packages from the different bags. The largest should even fit some pretty good-sized gifts.
Check out the video below to see how I made the different bags:

What a creative idea to use the same birthday candle design across different-sized gift bags! The die-cut details add such a festive touch, perfect for making any gift feel special. In Marathi culture, we love personalizing birthday gifts with heartfelt wishes like “Vadhdivsachya Khup Shubhechha!” to convey warmth. Last year, I made a small gift bag for my friend’s birthday, adding a Marathi note about her love for candles, which she found so thoughtful. Your approach to scaling the design for party favors or larger gifts is so versatile—I’m excited to try it out! Thanks for sharing this inspiring tutorial. ( https://marathibirthdaywish.com/)
