Instructions
To get started on your custom paper bag, grab your paper bag and place it on a flat surface. Gently fold the bottom part down so that it is split into two equal halves. This should create two flaps on the sides of the bottom part of the bag. If you need to use multiple bags, repeat this process for each one.
Now, with a glue stick adhere the flaps together. Then, unroll a length of duct tape and secure one of the outer edges of one of the end flaps.
Repeat this process for the other end flap, leaving a small space in between the two tape pieces.
Lastly, decorate the bag as desired! This can include drawing, stickers, photos and notes to make your own.
Have fun and enjoy your new journal!
