How To Make A Paper Bag

<p>For this method of making a paper bag, you will need a rectangular sheet of packing paper. If you don’t have this material, the wallpaper suits well, that has left after the renovation; or an old newspaper printed on a dense magazine paper. Also you will need some glue, a ribbon, a string or packthread for the handles.</p> <p>In the top part of the paper rectangular, fold up the edge to the centre for 1 cm.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/MdutAQCz5RYdKNX7QiZu8KWK2o4=/d1a6748d5f7f460d8072d4eb76a9f443"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/MdutAQCz5RYdKNX7QiZu8KWK2o4=/d1a6748d5f7f460d8072d4eb76a9f443" data-image="26501"></a></figure> <p>After this fold up the paper for 1,5-2cm from the edge on the side of the left part.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/37urGk7Nr7zBTR7TCwUF_Z3nzx0=/7b9a8edccbb04f8da86fd2f5f1754189"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/37urGk7Nr7zBTR7TCwUF_Z3nzx0=/7b9a8edccbb04f8da86fd2f5f1754189" data-image="26502"></a></figure> <p>Then you need to fold the paper in two.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gjfgSNoRDbqHUEYXzAspxC6GQtE=/cacf42a71d024e9597f0cf82962b92c3"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gjfgSNoRDbqHUEYXzAspxC6GQtE=/cacf42a71d024e9597f0cf82962b92c3" data-image="26503"></a></figure> <p>With the help of glue connect the folded side edge with the covering side. Now we have the preform of the bag, where the first folded edge is its upper part. </p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/vfoz-adhvrOoC9HUJfTBpWqPwr8=/9481ad43394244d696325891b71e6024"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/vfoz-adhvrOoC9HUJfTBpWqPwr8=/9481ad43394244d696325891b71e6024" data-image="26504"></a></figure> <p>Now, let’s do with the bag bottom.

On general, such a bag can be decorated in many ways. For example, you can attach a ribbon bow; make any application and so on.</p>
