Marking and Cutting
- Following the diagram, trace fold lines on the paper.
- Fold carefully and precisely along the marked lines. Choose a heavier-weight paper for a sturdier structure, ideal for use as a carry bag. For more durable home improvement projects, consider reinforced materials.
- Here’s how the folded sheet looks before gluing.
- Cut the bottom of the bag as shown.
Folding and Gluing
- Glue the top edge fold using Pritt glue, applying it manually along the entire edge.
- “Close” the structure by gluing the final portion of the sheet, corresponding to the closing fold.
- Fold the bottom flaps like a gift package and glue them to the structure with Pritt glue.
- To stiffen the bag and make it more functional for carrying objects, reinforce the bottom with a piece of rigid cardboard cut to size. Browse garden supplies for similar sturdy materials.
Handles with Cord
- At the top of the bag, create four openings (two per side) using a punch pliers for decorations.
- Handles are made with 6 mm diameter green cord, cut to length, threaded through the openings, and secured with simple knots.
- Slide a small rectangle of rigid cardboard onto the cord to serve as a customizable tag—your little DIY masterpiece is complete!
