In my ongoing quest to use up some of my hoarded calendars, I made a few homemade bags this weekend. They’re roughly in the style of a brown paper lunch bag or fast food takeout sack.

I’m pretty happy with how they turned out considering I made the process up as I went along and refused to measure anything :laughing:. The bottoms are a bit dodgy, especially on the national park ones, but I’ll cross that bridge if I ever need to actually carry something in them.

A couple of extra photos showing off their bag-ness:

These would be great for gifts - either as a gift bag or as gift wrap. Just close up the other side and boom, lovely presentation and read to go!

Thanks, friends!

That’s basically how I did the bottoms – like wrapping a present.
