Gift Bag with Handles SVG

About this design

Not every gift is wrapped in a box. This one comes in a tall gift bag, with a thin handle arching over the top and tissue paper spilling out in soft, pointed folds. A tiny hole near the top is ready for a tag, and a fold on one side shows the depth of the bag. In the layered version, some of the tissue folds show gold.

The design is two pieces with seven cut-outs. The bag is a big, bold shape, so it passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall. The handle is thin, so for felt choose 5 inches or more. For a shop sign, 10 to 12 inches.

Step by step: gift card bag

1. Set the bag to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut two green layers and one gold backing from cardstock.
3. Glue one green layer onto the gold backing for the front.
4. Glue the second green layer behind it along the sides and bottom, leaving the top open.
5. Slide a gift card inside and tie a tiny tag through the hole.

Color ideas

• Green with gold tissue, the classic
• Red with white tissue
• Kraft with green tissue for a rustic look
• Black with gold tissue for an elegant gift

Design notes

The tissue paper fans out in several directions, which makes the bag look full and festive. The thin handle arches behind it, framing the tissue.

Good to know

The tissue folds are where color shows, so the backing decides the tissue color. White and cream look classic, while gold or red make the bag feel more festive.

For shops and markets

This design suits holiday markets and small shops. Use it on signs, price tags and stickers for gift wrapping stations, or on the front of real shopping bags.

Choosing a size

At 3.5 to 4 inches, it fits tags and cards. At 5 to 6 inches, it suits gift card holders. At 10 inches and up, it works on signs and bags.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the bag.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
