Paper bag in a jifty

Pin It

I did this paper bag as a school project work for my son. He wanted me to make something out of waste. I had this brochure which was nice and thick. I liked the color. So I decided to make use of it. I was just holding it in my hand and thinking what to do with it. I was trying to fold it in different ways and suddenly this idea struck me.  So here is how I made the bag in simple steps.

This is the brochure that I had.


I folded it into half.


Then I folded one side


Then the other side on top of it.


This is how the bottom part looks.


I punched two holes at the top for the strings.


Like this


I selected coir ropes for the handles


I took the first three sheets together and inserted the rope through the holes and secured them by placing a knot as shown here.


Similarly the other side


Now one side of the bag was wide open.

So I used glue to close it shut

The bag is ready.


You can put some flowers into this cute bag and hang it on the wall.
