List of Supplies:
Brown paper
Dark brown craft paper
Red-colored pompom
Googly eyes
Pencil
Scissors
Craft glue
Instructions:
Step -1:
I’ve cut a brown paper of 8.5 inches X 5 inches to make the reindeer gift bags, but you can choose any size you want but make sure the ratio is similar to mine.
Step -2:
Leaving the 0.5 inches along the longer side, fold the 8 inches part into half.
Step – 3:
Apply glue along the extra 0.5 inches part and fold the glued part to attach it with the other open end of the folded brown paper.
Step – 4:
Fold up 2 inches (of the 5 inches side) from any 1 open ends of the paper.
Step – 5:
Open up the folded-up part and nicely flatten the 2 sides evenly. This will form 2 open sides, 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom. Also, notice the line along the middle.
Step – 6:
Fold down the top open end towards the middle line and overlapping the middle line by a cm.
Step – 7:
Now, fold up the bottom side of the open end and overlap the middle line by a cm again. Both sides will overlap each other. Apply glue on the overlapped parts to attach them. This will secure the bottom side of the paper bag.
Step – 8:
Notice the 2 square parts on both sides of the bottom. Create folds on both sides of the paper bag by using the opposite corners of the squares as a guide.
Step – 9:
Now open up the paper bag from its flattened position.
Step – 10:
Fold in the side middle lines of the paper bag and flatten the bottom side of the bag.
Step – 11:
Use scissors to cut a semi-circular shape on the top side of the paper bag. Cut out ear patterns (2 inner ear parts from dark brown paper and 2 outer ear parts from light brown parts), and 2 horn patterns from dark brown paper.
Step – 12:
Attach the horns and ears along the top end (front side) of the paper bag.
Step – 13:
Attach the googly eyes and pompom nose to complete the reindeer bag.
You can use a black sharpie to draw a smiley face…
