15. Insert 1 piece through the holes on one side of bag. Do the same thing with other ribbon piece on 2nd side of the bag.
Now your bag is ready to hold.
You can leave the bag as it is or decorate it as you wish. You can use flower cut outs or stickers, or doodle or even write something with craft or gel pens etc.

16. Take a stamper & stamp your design on one side or both sides.
Stamping is a fast way to decorate many bags. Use them for giving party favors or distributing sweets on your B'day.
