How to Make a Gift Bag Out of Wrapping Paper

Overview:
Transform leftover wrapping paper into stylish, eco-friendly gift bags in just 15–20 minutes. This DIY project is perfect for last-minute gifting and adds a personal touch to your presents.

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

Wrapping paper (preferably double-sided for a polished look)
Scissors
Clear or double-sided tape
Ribbon or twine (for handles)
Optional: Decorative elements like stickers or tags

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Measure the Paper:
Lay out your wrapping paper on a flat surface. Place the gift in the center to determine the appropriate size. Cut the paper to fit, allowing extra space for folds.
Form the Bag:
Position the paper with the design facing inward. Bring the sides of the paper toward the center, overlapping them slightly. Secure the seam with tape.
Create the Bottom:
Fold the bottom of the paper up to form a base. Press the folds flat and secure with tape to hold the shape.
Add Handles:
Punch holes near the top edges of the bag. Thread ribbon or twine through the holes and tie knots inside to secure.
Decorate:
Personalize the bag with stickers, tags, or other embellishments to match the occasion.
