To make a paper bag, first cut out a rectangle-shaped piece of paper that&#;s about twice as wide as you want your paper bag to be. Rotate the paper so one of the long sides is at the bottom. Then, fold the bottom edge up about 2 inches (5 cm), crease along the fold, and unfold. Fold the short sides of the rectangle in toward the center so they overlap slightly, and glue or tape them together where they overlap. Flip the bag over so the glued or taped crease is facing down. Next, open the bag slightly and press the side creases inward about 1 ½ inches (4 cm). Press down on the inverted sides to crease them and create an accordion effect. Now, fold up the top layer of the bottom of the bag along the existing crease you made before. Flatten the bottom of the bag by pressing down on the corners. Then, fold and glue the top edge of the bottom down to the horizontal crease. Fold and glue and bottom edge of the bottom up to the same crease. Use your hand to open up the bag, and punch or poke 2 holes near the top of the bag on each long side. Finally, thread a string or piece of ribbon through the holes and tie a knot on each end to make the handles. If you want to learn how to put handles on your bag, keep reading the article!
