How To Make Custom Gift Bags
Step 1
Create Top of Bag
Choose your fine paper. Flip the paper over and fold it in half to find the middle point. To create the top of your bag, flip over the bottom of the paper (about an inch) then fold the sides into the center point, overlapping slightly. Secure the overlap with your tape runner.Step 2
Create Bottom of Bag
To create the bottom of the bag, fold up the bottom of the bag 2 to 3 inches, then open the two sides of the paper. Gently pinch the sides in to create indented, puckered folds on both sides, then flatten the folds down to create triangular shapes.Step 3
Add Adhesive
Fold each piece of the bottom in towards the middle, then secure with the tape runner.Step 4
Create Shape and Structure
Fold in each side of the bag by one inch to create creases for shape and structure. Add a piece of cardstock to the bottom of the bag to make it sturdy.Step 5
Create Holes for Ribbon Handles
To create ribbon handles, punch two equally spaced holes at the top on each side. tie a ribbon of your choice through the holes, knotting at the inside of each one.Step 6
