Mail Bag Craft
Instructions to make a Mail Bag Craft using a paper bag.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Bag
  • Crayons
  • Stapler
Instructions:
An easy craft idea! Cut off a 4 inch strip around the top of the paper bag, this should now be a big loop. Cut the strip to make it one long strip and set it aside. Draw a mail log or a picture on the side of the paper bag. Fold down the top edge of the paper bag about an inch. Fold the strip in half so you have one long strip that is 2 inches wide and double thick. Staple this onto the top, inside edge of your bag to make the strap. You might also want to reinforce the stapled areas with tape. Voila, fill your mail bag with junk mail or make your own!
