You can make a Paper bag in several ways, depending on what you want to use it for. You can use it as a coles bag, a brown horse, or even a party bag. The only requirement is that you have a little experience in creating paper bags. After you master the basics, you can go on to make unique designs.
Paper bag coles
A new initiative in Australia is making paper shopping bags a more common feature at Coles. The paper bags are made from 70% recycle paper and are easy to recycle. Last year, Coles and Woolworths announce plans to phase out plastic bags and replace them with paper bags. In the meantime, consumers can purchase Coles Better Bags made from recycle plastic and Coles Marine Reusable Shopping Bags made from marine waste.
Currently, Coles distributes 50% recycle plastic produce bags in their supermarkets and delis. The supermarket has also introduce marine-reusable shopping bags made from 20 percent recycle marine debris. This move will help Coles meet its national packaging targets of increasing recycle content in packaging. Using paper bags will also help reduce the amount of waste produce by the company.
Woolworths and Coles have outline policies for returning plastic bags. While these programs are environmentally friendly, they are not user-friendly. If you buy groceries online, you can return them in their bags. Alternatively, you can take them back to your local Coles store. Coles has even remove plastic measuring scoops from its laundry powders. These plastic alternatives are environmentally-friendly and can be composte at home.
Paper bag pants
Paper bag pants are a versatile wardrobe essential. Their high waist and wide leg make them a perfect choice for work or play, and they have a belt loop for a stylish, easy to pull on fit. They look great with simple tops or drape to jackets. To make them more comfortable, use a woven material with a little stretch for a comfortable fit.
Before sewing the paper bag waistband, cut an opening on the right side of the fabric, matching the raw edge of the waist. Then, fold the fabric at the waist edge, using pins to secure the edges. Sew around the lower edge, leaving a small opening for the elastic. Make the opening about 2" wide. After sewing, backstitch the open edge.
If you're thin, paper-bag pants can flatter your figure. They will help define your waist. However, they may not be flattering for women over 40. Pair them with crop or fit tops for the most flattering look. And don't forget to wear a t-shirt or top that fits well.
Then, use a sewing machine to sew the waistband onto the pants. If you're a beginner, try practicing on a pair of unfinish pants first. Ideally, the pants should fit you well and feel comfortable. Once you're satisfy with the fit, lay the pants flat on a table. Measure the top part of the pants. Measure it twice, and add a little extra for the seam allowance and extra room.
The fabric should measure 86cm (34') horizontally and 38cm (15') vertically. The right side should measure 31cm (12") horizontally and 38cm (15') in length. The other side should be cut with a 3/8" (1 cm) seam allowance. The finish seams should be press towards the front.
Party paper bag
This easy craft is perfect for kids' parties. This craft doesn't require any hot glue and lets kids practice their fine motor skills. Once the pieces are cut out, they can glue them on themselves or have an adult glue them on for them. The best part is that they can use them as a puppet show for the kids. Everyone will have a different creation.
Begin by making the bottom of the open bag square-shap. This can be done by using the outermost edge of each interior triangle as a guide. Next, fold the bottom area of the "octagon" upwards toward the center of the bottom of the bag. The top strip of the "octagon" should be fold downwards.
After the paper bag has been fold, apply glue on the triangular areas and the center part of the bag. This will help the bag seal properly. Do the same for the other sides. Now you're ready to place the treats inside. You can place some candy in each bag and make it look pretty.
If you want to add some decorations to the paper bag, it is best to do it before putting it together. If you want to paint or make a pattern, it is best to do so on a flat piece of paper, or use newspaper. You can also use a stencil, feathers, crayons, and glitter to decorate the bag. If you are decorating with paint, it is advisable to keep the pattern the same on both sides of the bag.
