Time spent on craft: 2 hours

Materials:

•Paper

•Scissors

•Tape

•Hole Punch or small Scissors

•Ribbon or string

•Wrapping Paper (Optional)

Step #1 -

Fold your piece of paper in half and lightly make a crease

Step #2 -

Open it back up and fold one side to meet the center and then take the other side and repeat but overlap it a little. Than tape it closed.

Step #3 -

Fold the bottom of the gift bag up (sorry the picture is sideways)

Step #4 -

Open the flap that you folded and push your finger into the side. Than flatten and crease. Repeat on the opposite side.

Step #5 -

(This step is harder to explain so bare with me)

Fold the top of the little bottom piece up to the line you can see in the middle and overlap it slightly. Then fold the bottom of the little bottom piece up and overlap it twice as much as the other. Now tape over the rectangle. (Sorry if you are confused but feel free to ask questions in the comments)

Step #6 -

Now fold one side to the opposite direction and line it up with the triangle shape at the bottom and crease. Repeat on the opposite side.

Step #7 -

Now you can open your bag and adjust it until you can out a gift inside. You can also add tape in certain spots if kneeded.

Step #8 -

Now for the string. Use a hole punch or Scissors to poke two small holes in the side of the bag going to the opposite side.

Cut a piece of ribbon or string about half inch longer than you want. I chose to cut the tips of it at an angle for a triangle shape.

Step #9 -

Poke the piece of ribbon into the hole you made and tie a knot. Make sure the knot is on the inside so it will look pretty. Now repeat with the other side and the other string/ribbon.

Step #10 - (Optional)

Decorate your bag with wrapping paper or whatever you have. I decorated both sides. Here is how I decorated mine:

I worked really hard on this so I wanted to still post it for the #NewsApp.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Bye :wave:
