How to Make a Paper Bag with Newspaper

When I purchased something at a store as of late, the assistant gave me my buy in a sack produced using a daily paper. I enjoyed it in particular and needed to make some more—along these lines the present DIY reused daily paper venture: blessing packs produced using the Wall Street Journal. You can differ the measurements, obviously, yet this is what I used to make a pack that is 5″ tall, 4.5″ wide, and 3″ profound.

Stack two sheets of daily paper over each other. This will be a two-employ sack for additional strength.
Cut out a rectangle that is 15.5″ wide and 8.25″ tall. On the off chance that your paper as of now has an overlay in it, adjust the current overlap to one of the crease lines in the graph beneath, unless you wouldn’t fret an additional overlay showing up some place on your sack. I cut out this rectangle, at that point flipped the paper over so the blue zone would be outwardly of the pack.

Crease a fold 1.25″ down from the best. Overlap a fold 2″ up from the base. At that point mark off and make vertical overlap in the spots appeared in the outline above. The front and back boards are 4.5″ wide, the side gussets are 3″ wide, and you’ll require a 0.5″ fold for sticking the sack together.

Cut two bits of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25″ x 1″, at that point stick them on the most stretched out two boards simply under the best overlap. These will fortify the edge of the pack. Paste the best fold down along the length of the pack, covering the cardstock. Since the sack is two-utilize, you’ll have to stick both fold pieces down each one in turn.

Put stick outwardly of the 0.5″ tab and convey the furthest left board over to shape the body of the pack, adjusting the cut edge of the board with the collapsed edge of the fold. Add somewhat more paste to ensure the furthest sheet of newsprint gets attached down, as well.

Put stick on the two folds and overlap them internal to shape the base of the sack. Standing the pack upright and pushing down from within will secure them.

Slice a bit of chipboard to 4″ x 2.5″ and stick it to the base of the pack to fortify it and conceal the folds on the off chance that you need to be an overachiever.

Punch gaps in the edge of the pack, including eyelets on the off chance that you like, and string some string through the gaps to shape handles. Bunch each finish of the rope so it won’t haul out through the gaps.
