Paper Gift Bag Tutorial

Hello Sandwiches!

With the festive season coming up I thought I'd share a tutorial from the Hello Sandwich Gift Wrapping Zine. It's a simple way to turn wrapping paper, kraft paper or even a pre-loved envelope into an original paper gift bag.


HOW TO MAKE

1. Take a sheet of paper or wrapping paper approximately double the size that you desire your bag and fold it in half horizontally.

2. Fold the sides horizontally inwards and slot one side into the other. Tape together with washi tape.

3. Fold the base of your bag in and press down forming a crease.

4. Open out one side of the base by flattening the corners into a triangle shape.

You could also get creative with mt tape and decorate your bag like this one I made after a trip to the mt expo!
