For this reason, it’s important to buy accessories that are versatile, meaning they have more than one use and can be worn with multiple types of outfits and items. These black paper bags offer the perfect solution to your accessory needs, as they are inexpensive, multi-purpose, and will look great with just about anything you pair them with!
Learn Why are they Called Black Paper Bags
Traditionally, paper bags were used as a stand-in for cloth or plastic shopping bags. Plastic bags are cheaper and easier to manufacture but are not as durable or recyclable. Today, paper bags may be coated in plastics so they can carry more without ripping and carry liquids without leaking through the bottom of the bag. Now you know what a black paper bag is for!
A Bag Always Fits
For an environmentally conscious woman, the impact of a plastic bag may not be worth it. One single-use bag can take up to 1,000 years to decompose and release harmful chemicals into the environment. Not only does this devastate the planet's ecosystems, but that same bag will eventually find its way back into the ecosystem in a form of ocean trash where animals often mistake it for food. Don't let your accessories become part of this destructive cycle; pick up some custom black paper bags instead!
How to Use Them at Home
- The small black paper bags can be used for a variety of things at home.
- Place your children's crayons and coloring books in the bag to keep them separate from their siblings.
- They are also perfect for organizing office supplies and school items in your car or classroom.
Creating these Black Paper Begs:
To create these bags all you need is an empty paper towel roll and some tissue paper. Cut the tissue paper into pieces that are 2x4. Roll up a piece of tissue around the empty tube, folding over both ends towards each other to seal it shut. You may need to do this several times depending on how big your tube is (mine was large).
Once it is sealed on one end securely, simply twist off the top of the tube so that you have an open top to place items inside. These bags are very sturdy when finished but they tear easily as well so handle them with care when using them for various purposes.
Tips on how to make them Shine
- Try to use the cleanest and newest paper bags you can find. If it has some printing on it, try to wash it off so the ink won't leak into your bag.
- Use a ballpoint pen for easier results.
- Practice making a few bags before you start on any serious ones. And also make sure you know how to properly fold the bags, or you may have some spills along the way.
- If this project is for a gift, use your best handwriting for the monogram on the bag. Don't worry about mistakes in spelling, as long as it's legible. Nobody will notice if things are written imperfectly.
Inspiration; Showcasing what can be done with these little pieces of art
Custom Black Paper Bags have always been an integral part of my life. My sister and I used to find them scattered around the neighborhood, like small treasures waiting to be found. Usually, they were in batches of six or seven, which we would put inside each other until they became paper bowls and cups.
Of course, this is when I was a lot smaller than now, but even as I grew up paper bags continued to be my personal favorite vessel for carrying goods. There was something about that packaging; the possibility it offered just out of reach at all times, waiting for the moment when it would come alive. I recently rediscovered my love for these beautiful objects after spotting a set on my way back from work one day.
