• To make that simple small bag with paper, we will begin by folding the cardboard sheet horizontally, slightly marking the two ends of the folded part. In this way you will have a reference of where the center is located.
• Open the sheet and again fold it in half to the limit that you had previously marked. This time, mark the fold well. With the other end you have to proceed in the same way but exceeding the other already folded end by approximately 1 centimeter. We mark the fold again.
• Next, with the help of a glue stick, you have to glue the two sides that are mounted one on top of the other. Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry well.
• Then, you have to fold the bottom of the cardboard to get a rectangle about 4 centimeters wide. Next, unfold the rectangle to separate the two sheets that compose it and introduce its two ends inwards. Then mark the edges.
• Now fold the top side, exceeding the center by approximately 1 centimeter and do the same with the bottom side so that the vertices are symmetrical.
• The next step is to take the glue to carefully apply it only to the four corner triangles. Wait a few minutes for the glue to set.
• The next step is to fold the sides of the bag so that the bottom edges meet. Mark the doubles well. Then, repeat this same step with the other side of the bag.
• Later we unfold the sides and bottom of the bag. We open it carefully. Then, we introduce the side folds inwards but without reaching the base of the bag. Then mark the outer edges well.

Steps to make a simple small bag

What makes the difference of this one we are dealing with are the finishes. Less simple and much more showy. So let's see how it's done:

• Once you have finished your simple paper bag, we are going to give it a different finish. To do this, when it is finished it is time to decide how tall we want the bag to be and fold it from the chosen length.
• If you want the bag to be a tiny length, fold the bag from the opening to almost the bottom and make a fold in the middle.
• Then, with the help of scissors, cut the paper about 2 centimeters above the fold. Then feed the paper in from the fold.
• Now is the time to make the handles. To do this he cuts a strip of paper and folds it widthwise. Then open it up and apply a few layers of glue stick from top to bottom. Glue the entire strip on itself except for the ends because they will be glued to the sides of the bag. In total you will make two equal handles.
• Then glue the handles to the bag on the inside of the bag. Let them dry well for a few minutes… And this simple little bag would be finished!
• However, to give the finish a more showy touch, a good idea could be to decorate the bags with a sticker or with some other decoration that you like, such as a star, a moon or an eva rubber heart.
