Making a bag out of wrapping paper is a fun craft project and a creative way to reuse materials. Here are the steps to make a basic wrapping paper bag:
- Cut out a large rectangle from wrapping paper, approximately 12" x 15".
- Fold the paper in half lengthwise and crimp the open edge with a ruler or other straight edge to create a clean fold. Unfold the paper.
- Measure 4" from each open end and make a cut halfway across the width of the paper to start the bag handles.
- Cut up from each half-cut towards the folded edge to complete the handles.
- Fold the bottom edges of the bag up about 1-2" and crease tightly to reinforce.
- Decorate the bag with glitter, stickers, or additional paper if desired.
- Fill the bag with wrapped gifts, candies, or other items.
You now have a personalized gift bag made from recycled wrapping paper! Experiment with different paper designs, sizes, and handle styles to create unique bags for any occasion.
