Ingredients Desired:
- Wrapping paper
- Cutters
- Tape (double-sided or regular)
- Ruler
- Dump punch (optional, for handles)
- Ribbon, string, or paper strips (for handles)
Instructions:
- Cut the Paper:
- Lay the covering paper flat on a table.
- Cut a frame. The size depends on how large you want the bag to be.
- Crinkle the Paper:
- Fold the paper in half lengthwise so the shorter edges meet, creating a seam in the middle.
- Use tape to protected the layer.
- Form the Base:
- At one end, fold the paper up about 2–3 inches (this will be the base of the bag).
- Open this fold, creating a rectangle shape with the folded edge in the middle.
- Shape the Lowest:
- Fold the left and right edges of the rectangle inner, creating a diamond shape.
- Fold the top and bottom edges of the diamond inward so they overlap slightly.
- Tape these edges together to secure the base.
- Create the Bag Shape:
- Stand the bag upright and press along the bottom edges to give it a flat base.
- Fold in the sides slightly to create a gusset (optional).
- Add Handles (Optional):
- Punch two holes on each side of the bag near the top.
- Thread ribbon, string, or paper strips through the holes and tie knots to secure.
- Finish Up:
- Fold the top edge of the bag for a cleaner finish or add decorative tape to secure.
- Your wrapping paper bag is ready to use!
Orders:
- Use thicker wrapping paper for durability.
- Reinforce the bottom with a piece of cardboard if carrying heavy items.
- Decorate the bag with bows, stickers, or tags for a personalized touch!
