Printable guide (optional, but it's very helpful)

PAPER BAG
First, you should print out the printable that I've made. Make sure to follow the printing instructions to get the right sized printable!!!

Then, cut it out and trace it onto whatever material you'd like the bag to be made of. Make sure not to throw away the template, as you'll need it for reference in the future.

 Below, I describe two methods to make the lines that you'll need to score on. Be sure to use a pencil so you can erase the marks. :D

Template method:
1.To use the template method (not as accurate), make sure that you start on the opposite side that the tab is on.
2.Place the template on the bag, longways and overlapping a bit, and make marks where the lines are on the bag.
3.Then, place the template on the bag, sideways and overlapping a bit; make lines where the sideways line is. If your bag layout looks like the template, it's done!

Ruler method:
1.To use the ruler method (easy & accurate), make sure that you start on the opposite side that the tab is on.
2.Starting from the left, mark 2", 1", 2" and 1" two last times.
3.Then, mark 1" from the bottom up. If your bag layout looks like the template, it's complete.

Now, score and fold on all of the lines. Then, take the 1"side tabs and fold them in half. This is a bit tricky, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. This will help with the shape of the paper bag.

Then, cut the short lines on the box. If you're having trouble with this, the template shows you exactly where to cut.

This next part is the tricky, so make sure to pay attention:

1.Glue on the small bottom tabs, and fold them under the big tab (template is helpful here!!!).
2.Then, fold the remaining big tab out.
3.Then, glue the side tab to the inside of the bag.
4.After that, glue the big tab (that we folded outwards earlier) to the bottom of the bag.


Now you have your paper bag! Fill it with you're doll's lunch, groceries, or anything else you want and enjoy!

(P.S. I didn't upload a video on Monday because this was a really difficult craft to make the printables for, make the design of the bag, and make the video etc... so this is the only video this week!)
