Assembling the Quietfire Totes!

These totes are just so cute! Some even come with tags! There are lots of designs for lots of occasions and more being added.



It's a perfect for a small hostess gift!

Here are the brief instructions for making the base (see the video tutorial below or on YouTube):
  1. Cut all the elements in the colours of your choice. 
  2. Fold all the perforated score lines upward. 
  3. Apply strong double-sided adhesive to the tabs. I run a single strip of double sided tape along the tabs. 
  4. Form the tote by adhering the side tab first. 
  5. Remove the tape’s release paper on one side of the tabs at the base.  Align one point on the base piece with the side seam and work your way around to the other point by pushing the tabs against the base.  I work with one hand inside pushing the tabs into the correct position. 
  6. Remove the release paper on the other side and repeat until all the tabs are in place and secure.  Fill your gift tote and give to someone special! 
The finished size of most of these is about 4.25" high, 5.25" wide and about 2.25" deep. It could be a bit larger if you angled it on the cutting mat.
