Found this great gift bag idea I wanted to share with everyone while list is
slow. The bag pattern was copyrighted but as you see, I remade it and
changed the pattern as mine. This is a wonderful idea to keep for future
use.

                GIFT BAGS FROM ANY PAPER

 

Make any size gift bag from any paper

 

1.       Make a decision on what size bag you need.

2.       .Chose a box Example a rice box from the kitchen up to a shoe box.

3.       .Chose paper you want to use. If not big enough, use a glue stick
to adhere two pieces together.

4.       .Wrap the paper around your box and use glue stick to adhere paper
seam on package. Also use a small piece of tape to secure seam.

5.       .Fold in the bottom of the paper using the glue stick and or tape.

6.       .Slide out your box. Hope you did not wrap too tight to slide out
your box. Before removing box you might want to cut extra paper from the top
opening, using the top box edge as a guide. Decorated scissor cut will save
the next step, if desired.

7.       .Fold down and in with a crease at the top all the way around. Use
glue stick here also if needed.

8.       .Punch two holes on each side to place handles.

9.       .Use curling ribbon and thread two pieces of the proper length and
know inside the holes mad inside the paper. Before knotting one you might
add a card made of same paper with index card inside paper with a written or
braille message on card. A hole punched in the card and threaded on the
handle makes a matching card for the bag.

10.   .Bag completed. Insert tissue paper and gift.

This will make your own Birthday and Christmas gift bags.
