How to make a paper bag

Today, I made some paper bags for a customer.
So I'd like to write how to make a paper bag. I used some pages of magazines.
(1)Cut two pages from a magazine.


(2)Paste the edges of two pages together.



(3)Fold each side of the bag in same width. In this case, I folded in 1 inch.


(4)Tuck down each side.


(5)Fold the bottom of the bag. In this case, I folded in about 2 inches.


(6)Open the bottom.



(7)And fold it like the pictures.


Then, paste it.


(8)You did it! I love this one very much because I love tomatoes!!!!


I made five bags today.

Thank you for reading my poor English instruction.
I hope you like it.

  2. I think I can do that!
    Thank you so much for the great instructions.
    And yes, that bag does look very delicious!!!
    The tomatoes are so yummy looking. I remember the tomato you bought on your trip to the US when you blogged about it.

  5. What a useful tutorial! I was looking for a way to package some small gifts, and this is the perfect way.

    I have been following your blog for a while, and I enjoy it very much, but I never commented. Thank you for this and all of your lovely and interesting posts.

  8. I had been looking for instructions on this very topic. So happy to find yours. Am I "direction challenged" as far as following instructions is concerned? Everyone seemed to think that they were so easy to follow!! I am having trouble with the following two parts: Did you take two sheets of magazine pages, place them on top of each other, and glue them together on two edges - right and left sides? And, I am not sure exactly how you glued the bottom together after folding the bottom up 2 inches and "opening it up". What happens to the triangular corners?

  9. Hello Semajrn,
    Thank you for your comment.
    I used two pages to make this bag. But sometimes I make a bag from a piece of paper.
    And about the bottom, when I fold the first side, I put some glue on the corner only. Then, when I fold the other side, I put some glue on the corner and the line which laps over to the other side.
    Could I explain well ...???
