How to make gift bags from newspaper

When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep.

Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness.

Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. If your paper already has a fold in it, align the existing fold with one of the fold lines in the diagram below, unless you don't mind an extra fold appearing somewhere on your bag. I cut out this rectangle, then flipped the paper over so the blue area would be on the outside of the bag.

Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Fold a flap 2" up from the bottom. Then measure off and make vertical folds in the places shown in the diagram above. The front and back panels are 4.5" wide, the side gussets are 3" wide, and you'll need a 0.5" flap for gluing the bag together.

Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. These will reinforce the rim of the bag. Glue the top flap down along the length of the bag, covering the cardstock. Since the bag is two-ply, you'll need to glue both flap pieces down one at a time.

Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Add a little more glue to make sure the outermost sheet of newsprint gets tacked down, too.

Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Fold the short sides inward as if you were wrapping a present. If it seems easier, you could also lay the bag on its side and crease those folds against the table.

Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag. Standing the bag upright and pressing down from the inside will help to secure them.

Cut a piece of chipboard to 4" x 2.5" and glue it to the bottom of the bag to reinforce it and hide the flaps if you want to be an overachiever.

Punch holes in the rim of the bag, adding eyelets if you like, and string some cord through the holes to form handles. Knot each end of the cord so it won't pull out through the holes.

If you want to store your bag flat, pinch the top together, fold in the sides, and bring the bottom up so that it lies flat.

Oooh, I like this! Thanks for sharing how to make it. :)

sara, designers call said...

I saw this idea at Cargo in Portland and I love it! Great diy.

Mackenzie M. said...

This the greatest thing I've seen all day. :) And it's just in time for my sister's and nephew's birthday! Oh, and it's economical and environmentally friendly!

Jessica Jones said...

Sara, uh huh, that's where I was shopping!

piccola samurai said...

I made some last year following another tutorial on the internet and they were, not only easy, but very fun to make! Plus, the persons to whom I gave them were so delighted and impressed by them! Definitely worth trying!

Fiona said...

The more I read this blog, the more enamoured I get by the idea of party bags. This may be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back. Now to find a party...

Delicate Eccentric said...

I love making bags for all sorts of things, I normally use this tutorial.... I find the bottom on this one much easier and holds better because of the inner folds.

Jessica Jones said...

Cool, thanks for the tip! Plus I love how that guy says "stahp-ler" and "pah-per."

CitricSugar said...

Cute! I've seen ones from wallpaper samples. They wrapped them around a stack of books to help them fold the bottom corners in.

I really like these ones, though.

Jennifer said...

Oh I love this! Really, you could use any kind of paper. Hey maybe that's what to do with saved wrapping paper... :P

ASH said...

You have a really cool blog. Thank you for the instructions on how to make the bags, it is a good idea.. will have to try it the next time.

Michelle @ Sweet Something Design said...

RRR, love it!

Grandma G said...

But didn't your fingers get black from the ink?

Tristin said...

Fabulous-I'll pair them with your magazine bows! Perfect match :)

Jessica Jones said...

Mum, maybe just slightly gray. Not bad.

Jessica James said...

"Oh my gosh that's the cutest thing I've ever seen, I have to make them!" people started looking at me weird at the office I guess I shouldn't have said that out loud--I just got so excited!

Lucila said...

OMG!!!! I love it they look fabulous!

great idea!thanks for sharing

Elfin Goddess said...

I've always wanted to know how to make these...thanks a bunch for sharing! A couple of C'mas' ago - I bought gifts at a store that has only n-paper bags. I saved them all & gifted the items in the bags instead of putting them in wrapping paper. Everyone loved it and saved the bags to re-use! Will be great to make some on my own!!! Thanks again Cheers,
Avril

Unknown said...

Brilliant! Can't wait to try it.

Love this - I also make gift bags with wallpaper - they are really strong and I sew them instead of stick them :o) There's a pic (a rather bad one - sorry) on my blog here http://michellemadethis.blogspot.com/2008/11/wallpaper-bags.html

Terrie D. (StarSpry) said...

This is great! Thanks for sharing; I can't wait to make some of these bags :)

M said...

This is so great. Can't wait to try it! Also if you're worried about the print smudging onto light colored gifts, I bet spraying it lightly with workable Fixatif would take care of it.

Becky said...

I was gonna ask what GG asked! Our local paper is especially bad for turning one's fingers dirty!

But the bag still rocks!

Steph @ Professors_Wife said...

Amazing! Genius! I'm so trying this!!!

Darci said...

Great project idea, Jessica! I'm going to use my plethora of old maps for this, make the bag bigger, wrap it in either contact paper or packing tape and use it as a cool lunch bag.

Thanks!!

Jessica Jones said...

Darci, that sounds pretty darned awesome.

Kimberly said...

This is such a fantastic recycling idea. I think I'll use this idea to make favor bags for my son's first birthday. Thanks!

Mika said...

LOVE this! I'm totally going to try this with some fabric.

speaking as a party bag seller, I think they are fantastic!

I absolutely love it! I think I'll try this with my daughter today.

Great idea! I think I will have to try it with wallpaper or wrapping paper. I have issues...I hate touching newspaper!
How black were your fingers?

This is one of the most awesome things I've seen in a long time! So great!

harrisgraber said...

Well done!!

They are certainly different, recycle paper and are a sure fire attention getter.

Punctuation Mark said...

this is such a creative idea and great for recycling old papers!

tamdoll said...

This is great, thanks!! I especially think it would be good for a special occasion - using the front page with a date on it, or an announcement page, or a comic strip.... lots of ideas!

Annieofbluegables said...

ooo you made it easier than I have ever done. I used to try to form them around a box the same shape or a brick. . . duh just fold it BEFORE you start making the bag. I've made dozens of these in the past and almost felt like they weren't worth it. Now you have remedied that. Thanks I put it on my blog in my list of tutorials.

KB said...

love them, and marg, you made me think about using maps to make souvenir gift bags, thank you! We're always buying t-shirts or crafts from the beach trips to bring home to loved ones.

Midnight Creations said...

Love this idea, I also use wrapping paper to make my own bags, and mini bags out of scrapbook paper. Newspaper looks great too, so many fun ways to make handles as well.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

I'm never buying a gift bag ever again! Thanks!

these are super cute. I used to do something similar with wrapping paper around valentines day for my staff! Looks like I'd better start saving those news papers! :-D

Katja Nina said...

Have to try this one, looks really cool!
Thanks again

Melissa said...

I wonder how well this would work with the glossy paper from the ads instead of newsprint. Then you get color, glossy, and it doesn't turn your fingers colors! I'm bookmarking this - our MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group may use these for our "new mom gift" bags for moms at our local hospital instead of buying in bulk at Michael's! Could use free parenting mags that I've got all over!

Rana said...

Yeah a new project for me and the kids!

Spraying fixative on the newspaper saves my fingers; Kumi Himo Braid from leftover thread/yarns, etc., makes nice handles; and using craft newspapers for my Crafty friends delights them all! What an excellent diy and blog! Thank you!

Instead of reinforcing with metal eyelets, I used the circles used with binder paper---one on each side of the hole. Thank you--my brothers are handicapped and we use open bags for all their gifts!

How big of a bag do you think you could make like this?

Well, I made them today...and do you know what makes it SO much easier? Folding the bottom around a box. Makes for nice creases.

This is a great idea! I am always looking for great 'repurposing' ideas. I have tons of magazines that are larger like rolling stones that are not worth anything. I could make some gift bags out of those i'm thinking. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Regina,
It will fall apart, just like other paper bags. Also not advised would be lighting it on fire or running it over with your car.

Morana said...

Waah, I actually tried this! Worked fairly well. I also reinforced the sides with card, but I covered the card in newspaper before sticking it in, it blends in a lot better.

I didn't bother with eyelets, I just threaded old shoelaces through and then tied them so I have a shoulder bag! ^_^

I had my exams today, and it was a perfect size for 4 pens, a calculator ruler and a rubber! However, due to the words on it, I wasn't going to risk taking it in the exam hall. Got loads of compliments though!

suzanne said...

Another easy way is to start wrapping one end of a box like a gift, put a piece of cardboard or card stock on the end that will form the bottom and wrap it a second time, while only gluing the one end. Then fold the long strip of card stock or cardboard underneath the open edge and under once before gluing it secure to reinforce the top edge. This has worked great in the past for me.

I used christmas paper to make the bag. It is not as sturdy as newspaper would be but I was in the festive mood. I think next time I will cover the newspaper with a layer of christmas paper. Thanks for the tutorial.

Anonymous said...

please could you make your instructions a bit simpler, i don't get how you made the bag shape when you said "glue the top flap along the length of the bag". nice idea though :)

That's not a bad bag said...

Love it! No reason to hand gifts plain :p

How much does the newspaper bag hold? Looking at that glue, seems kinda weak.

I think with your measurements it would with a magazine that has a staple binding (meaning the back and front covers are one piece). Now can someone please try it so i can enjoy more vicarious crafting?

Unknown said...

This is AWESOME!!! I am going to repost it on my blog!

Célia said...

Waw this is such a great idea!

MySweetT said...

If you use butcher paper on the inside it will protect your items and will also be sturdy. A plus to this is you could color the paper to get a different effect or have the shiny side toward the inside and not have to worry about something seeping into the paper.

Anonymous said...

Great idea but I can't stand touching newspaper because of the black ink that gets on my hands.

I could see using the slick sales papers though!

How can I make the bag waterproof so that the news print does not stain.

Teresa said...

Really good idea and easy to make. Thanks.

Jessica Jones said...

Anonymous, I don't think it's possible to achieve total waterproof-ness. You could spray it with a clear acrylic spray, though, to help keep the ink from rubbing off. Krylon Satin Finish might do the trick.

TheLazyQuilter said...

I would never take the time to do eyelets, but I bet clear reinforcements would do the trick :)
