A true needlewoman can make anything. If we consider paper crafts, then the list of all useful things can start with postcards and end ... with bags? Is it worth the time to create such not very durable objects? Consider how to make a bag out of paper and for what purposes. Information is provided in the form of instructions with photos and diagrams.
A bag. Her appointment depending on the situation
Perhaps there are times when you need to pack something. Moreover, these things are not so voluminous and heavy. This primarily relates to gifts. How do you, for example, present a box of chocolates? In a plastic bag? This option is not quite suitable for a gift, is it? And what to do if your present is made by yourself? Surely the birthday person will be pleased to accept a completely home-made creation, including a wrapping package. Another common situation when you have to think about packaging is the upcoming donation of money. A wonderful home-made envelope will be much more appropriate than a standard white mail. So, how to make a bag out of paper without worrying much about its durability? Indeed, sometimes there is a more important condition - appearance and originality. Consider two options, each of which is distinguished by creativity and unusual manufacturing.
Which material is better to use?
In the first case, the finished product is quite voluminous. Therefore, one can predict that not a small thing will lie inside. Even if a chubby scarf is packed, it is worth choosing a medium density material, but not, for example, thin film or corrugated paper. Use a dense Whatman paper or other material appropriate for the degree of strength to make a bag-bag with handles. In the second case, the application of rustling and tearing bases also disappears, since, according to the technology, separately located handles are provided. In addition, it is desirable that the folds on the product that will be formed thanks to the art of origami stand out clearly. Stock up on paper and get to work.
How to make a paper bag according to the drawing?
The blank, presented in the photo in this article, clearly demonstrates that for cutting you need a whole segment in size and shape resembling a square. Looking at the drawing, you can easily make your own using a simple pencil and ruler. Draw lines strictly following directions and bends. Then, to check how symmetrical the bag will be made of paper with your own hands in the future, you need to fold the blank four times. If all the contours coincide, the pattern is built correctly. In order to somehow strengthen the foundation for work before cutting, you can glue the canvas with a cloth. When folding, align the slots and lay them on top of each other, and insert the improvised handles into the resulting gaps. The small bag is ready!
How to make a paper bag in the form of an envelope with a mini pen?
Want to make a small wallet quickly? Origami art will come to the rescue. A paper bag will look most neat when using colored dense material. Different color sides of the sheet are welcome.

Small crocheted flowers or an openwork tape around the edge will look very stylish on top of the product. Do you want to especially surprise with new ideas? Then try yourself in the manufacture of creative crafts in scrapbooking style. Indeed, a lot of seemingly incompatible small things skillfully arranged in a thoughtful combination can create a very stylish composition with a chic effect.
Work description
It is very simple and at the same time an unusual bag of paper. The diagram clearly shows the whole process of work. Consider all the steps:
- Prepare a square piece of paper. Fold it diagonally and place it horizontally with the fold down.
- Place the top corner over the canvas, dividing it horizontally into two identical parts.
- Wrap two angles on the sides.
- Print the previously superimposed upper corner.
- Fold the workpiece in half vertically.
- Cut with small scissors along the dashed lines along the two diagonal faces of the upper triangle, departing from the edge of 2-2.5 cm.
- Loose the two triangles on the canvas of the bag, thereby securing its somewhat unstable shape. To fix the structure, you can use glue.
The proposed two methods will surely become a lifesaver in cases where you need to present a small gift in a homemade package. Especially if they are made with love and care. After all, giving gifts is just as enjoyable as receiving them, isn't it?
