To make the favour bags, you will need the following:

• Coloured card or heavy wrapping paper

• Empty cardboard boxes like cereal boxes, biscuit boxes,

etc. (depending on the size of the bag you want to make

• Scissors

• Double-sided tape or glue

• Cardboard

• Hole punch

• Ribbon, string or cord to match or compliment the paper

Step 1Lay box flat on wrong side of

paper, ensuring paper will fold

up to cover three-quarters

of base

Step 2Wrap paper around

box to take circumference measurement, adding 2cm for

overlap at side join. Mark dimensions

with pencil, remove box and cut out

Step 3Fold 3 cm over to inside at top edge of

paper, glue in place

Step 4Wrap paper around box

Step 5Secure the overlap at the side with double-sided tape or glue

Step 6While the box

is still in the bag, fold the

bottom edges over

Like this…..

Step 7Secure with double-sided tape or glue

So it looks like this…

Step 8Slide box out of bag

Step 9Pinch edges of bag together with fingers

and crease down sides carefully

Step 10Flatten bag, fold

bottom and flatten.

Fold bottom back and open bag

Step 11Punch two holes in each side at the top

Thread the string or cord through the holes and knot the ends.

Make sure that the knots are big enough so

that the handles don't come off.

Tip:

For extra strength or a neater finish, you can cut a piece of paper just a little smaller than the base of

the bag and glue in place.

You can also cut a piece of cardboard the same size and insert

it into the bag on the bottom.
