What you Need

These are the things we need to create a Christmas bag; we need colored paper for this. We can make this Christmas bag using colored paper as well as gift wrapping paper.

I used red and green paper to create the Christmas bag. In addition to the colored paper, we need scissors, glue, and a ribbon or thread.

Everything you need to create a Christmas paper bag is ready. Now let’s see how we can design this Christmas bag.

Way of the making

Step 01: Start making a Christmas bag.

I make my bag out of green paper. First, take the green paper and fold it in the middle on both sides.

We need to fold the paper, not the long side. A paper should fold the width on both sides.

Step 02: Completely pasting the Christmas bag.

The paper we stuck in the middle is now going to be made into a bag.

Now fold a piece about 2 inches below the bottom of the bag we glued.

Then fold both sides of the folded section inwards. It should have a triangular shape when bent inwards.

Or the folded corners should look like a cap.

Then bend the middle of the two sides, not the two corners, like the cap, and glue them together.

You can see this from the photos below.

Step 03: Decorating a Christmas bag.

Now we need about three strips of paper cut from red paper (cut along the long side of the paper).

Now we are going to stick the red stripe across the bottom of the bag we made.

Cut into strips of three sizes and paste across the bag as shown in the figure.

Then make a bow out of the remaining piece of the red paper strip.

Stick the red bow in the bag on top of the strips we glued.

Step 04: Finish making a Christmas paper bag.

Now we come to the part where we talk about the middle ground. I told you we need a thread or a ribbon. I just picked up a rope.

Take the first made bag and fold the top part. We need to fold the strip to the other side and not to the side we decorated.

Then make a hole (puncture) on both sides of the folded strip.

Then take the thread, tie it to the two holes drilled, and tie a beautiful bow shape on the decorated side.
