Making Paper Bags With Handles

By Tanisha Berg


Nowadays, many stores are becoming more and more environmental friendly by not using plastic bags anymore. Now in order to do their part in saving the earth, they would use paper bags instead. Now the only issue with using these types of bags is that they are hard to carry simply because they do not have any handles. It is for this reason that a lot of stores would actually make paper bags with handles.

Now when making these types of things, one has to take note that using one lunch bag is actually very flimsy and could break easily. So what one could do is he could put two or three more lunch bags inside of it. From there, he should staple the two or three bags to the initial bag so that the holding power of the entire thing will be stronger.

After one has already done this step, then now he would have to be a little bit creative in the creation of the handles. Now depending on what he would want his handles to look like, he may use different materials in the process. Some of the best materials that he may use for this would actually be ribbons, yarn, or maybe even strings.

Now the first thing that would usually come to mind when it comes to paper bag handles would of course be the string or the piece of yarn. Now in order to use strings, one will first have to buy small buttons in craft stores and punch them into the paper bag. From there, he would then have to twist a few strings together in order to make a bigger handle.

After doing that, then the next step would be to tie that string in the hole and make sure the knot is tight. Another method that he can use would be to tie a thick knot in the shape of a ball on both ends. After doing this, then all he has to do would be to inset the ends in the holes. From there, he will be able to carry the bag.

If he would want, he might also opt to use a ribbon instead. Now ribbons are easier to use because one does not need to do so much work when it comes to putting the ribbon there. Also, ribbons have a lower chance breaking through the bag.

Now to do this, one has to just simply staple the ribbon to the inner part of the bag. Now one may not be convinced with the sturdiness of this so what a lot of people would do is that they would still put some scotch tape on it. Of course he just has to make sure that he would do this to the other side too.

So basically, these are the steps that one should take in order to make this kind of thing. As one can see, these things are extremely useful to the customers who would go shopping in stores. These things can carry a lot of things and will really be great for the convenience of the customers.
