Steps To Making Paper Bags With Handles

By Tanisha Berg


These days, a lot of stores would junk using plastic bags because using plastic is not good for the environment. Now one of the things that the stores would do is that they would use paper bags instead because it is better for the environment. However, the only problem here is that people would have a hard time carrying each paper bag. So what stores do these days is that they make paper bags with handles.

Now one of the disadvantages of using paper bags is that they are actually quite fragile and will break right away when they get wet or are carrying too much weight. So in order to prevent this, one could actually put one bag inside another in order to increase the strength. From there, all he has to do would be to staple them together.

Now after that is already done, then the next thing that one would now have to think of would be making the handles. Now one can use a lot of things in order to make each handle depending on how he would want them to look like. He may use ribbon, yarn, twine, or other type of sturdy material that he could think of that looks nice.

If one would choose to use a piece of yarn or a string, then he should get a few strands and twist them all together so that he will have a big one. After that, he should buy one of those small buttons with holes in them so that he will be able to tie the string there. He should now insert those small buttons into the paper bag and punch a hole in the middle.

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.

Now the other way, which is actually the easier way, would be to use a ribbon. Now using a ribbon is much better as it is much more practical although not as nice looking as the string. However, it is actually more practical because it will be able to hold the bag better.

Now in order to put the ribbon on the bag, one just has to use a stapler in order to staple them to the insides of the bag. After doing that, then just to be safe, he should also put some scotch tape so that he can be sure that it will not break. After that, he just has to repeat what he did with the other side as well.

So if one would want to make these kind of thing, then here are the steps that he should take. Now by doing this, one will be able to give customers an easier way to carry their bags. Because of this, they will not mind coming back and shopping there again.
