How to Make a Colorful Gift Bag out of Wrapping Paper

Whether you are making a Christmas bag, Birthday bag or just a gift bag for a friend the process is all the same.

Step 1: Cut Paper and Fold

To make a paper bag out of wrapping paper, start by placing the item you are planning to wrap down on your paper. You want your “folded paper” to be at least the width of your item.

Once you have that width, cut your paper accordingly.

Step 2: Tape down the Side

Now fold one side over the other and add two pieces of tape. This should leave you with a “tube” type shape, open on both ends.
