Using a single hole puncher, punch a hole in center top area of the Giftbag, repeat the same for the other side.
If you do not have a single hole puncher or any hole puncher, just make a hole big enough for some ribbon or string to go through.

Repeat the same for the Giftbag’s second hole. Fill Giftbag with candies or presents for your loved ones, and it’s ready!
Note:
1) Giftbag Measurements:
When printed at 100% on letter sized cardstock, the size of the giftbag (without the handle attached) is width: 8.5cm/3.3 inch, height: 9.1cm/3.6inch & dimension: 4.5cm/1.8 inch. Base of giftbag is a rectangle, width (6.5cm/2.6 inch) & length (4.6cm/ 1.8inch).
2) Since this Giftbag is to be constructed from cardstock, it would be advisable that only lightweight gifts be placed inside of giftbasket. Also, ribbon or string handles are stronger than the paper handle.
3) The height of the handle can be adjusted according to the reader’s preference, ie: the paper handle can be shortened or the handle can be lengthened if the reader prefers to use longer ribbon/string.
4) Your screen & printer’s printout colors may look slightly different from PDF files. PDF files are formatted to print on letter sized paper/card stock and PDF Files are not editable. Open & print PDF files in FREE Adobe Reader software.

This is a cute little basket. It would be great to use for favors, place settings, etc. It would be cuter if I could print this. It does seem small, but I want it anyway! Nice that it is already decorated. Thanks!
