INSTRUCTIONS

Here is one of the template for 11cm x 8cm x 3cm. Its a default template  for a A4 size paper. But you can scale it up to make a bigger gift bag using the same ratio.

 

 

 


Scale up the template to the size required and transfer / print out the pattern onto the decorated paper. Cut out carefully using knife / scissor. Score lightly along the back of the crease so that they will fold more easily. Fold down and glue the flaps along the top edge of the bag.

 

Next, glue the long, side tab to form a bag shape.

 

 

 

Then glue the base of the bag, folding in the short end tabs first.

 

 

 

 

 

Form the pleats down the sides of the bag by pressing the long edges together gently so that the paper is pushed inwards.

 

 

 

 

 

Using the hole punch, make two holes on each of the top sides near the top edge. Cut two short length of ribbon and thread each end through the holes to make two looped handles. Knot the ends at the back of the holes to secure.

 

 

 

 

Tips : Use color variations to suit any event you want to take part. Red for love or valentine. White or yellow for friendship etc. You can also decorate you bag by adding ribbon on it. A cute gift bag papercraft, all based on your imagination.
