If you are looking for a nice easy solution for custom kids party bags look no further. I made these from an A4 bit of paper. All you have to do is print, make a few snips and add some double sided sticky tape...
I'll show you how ...
You can print the guidelines on the reverse of an A4 sized bit of patterned card, or onto plain paper, or you can print your own design on the reverse as I have with the Mad Hatter bag. For the instructions, I just used a piece of white printer paper.
Here are the printable guidelines for you - Download Giftbag
You need a sheet of paper onto which you print the folding guidelines. You will also need a pair of scissors and some double sided sticky tape.
Make folds along all the dotted lines.
Apply double sided sticky tape to the narrow long fold.
Join the bag together to form a tube.
snip the folds up to the crease - this will form the end flaps.
Apply tape along one of the wide flaps and stick the short flaps to it. Then stick two rows of tape the the other wide flap.
Trim the corners off to make a nice neat finish Then stick the flap down.
...and you are finished. Told you it was easy.
Now you can make it as plain or fancy as you like.
If you would like to print the two sided Mad Hatter version,
you can get that here... Download MAdHaTtEr
Hope this is useful for you.
