how would you like to make some cute
0:01
gift bags today really quick simple just
0:03
use a square of paper no glue no tape
0:06
and look how cute they are you can
0:09
fasten them shook with a little clip a
0:10
little Peg or even a sticker I even made
0:14
this one out of a magazine page and
0:16
how's this for cute to just drop an
0:17
individual chocolate into and then place
0:20
them on your dining table for guests so
0:22
let's get started all you need is a
0:25
square of paper and all that matters is
0:27
that it's Square I'm using a 12-in by 12
0:30
in piece of paper but you can use any
0:32
size you like so fold it in half so that
0:36
one corner goes over to the other corner
0:38
to form a
0:40
triangle and then make a good crease now
0:44
in the description below I will place a
0:47
list of squares of paper and the sort of
0:49
size of bag you're going to get if
0:51
that's helpful so do take a look
0:54
below once you've folded it and made a
0:56
good crease fold it the other way now
0:59
you'll see I'm using a little plastic
1:01
tool that just makes it a really good
1:03
crease don't worry you don't need any
1:05
special tools you can use a ruler your
1:07
fingernail or just rub your finger along
1:09
it I'm just emphasizing you want a good
1:11
crease the thicker your paper the more
1:14
important it is that you make sure that
1:15
crease is holding well so you can see
1:18
we've formed that cross corner to corner
1:21
now turn the paper over that's really
1:23
important and then fold it in half now
1:27
this time you're folding it in half so
1:28
one side goes to the other side so you
1:30
form a
1:33
rectangle and then make that a really
1:35
good crease there's a pattern form in
1:37
here you're going to hear me say that a
1:39
lot and then open that back
1:43
out and fold it the other way one side
1:46
to one
1:49
side you'll notice that I take a little
1:51
bit of time to make sure I've lined it
1:53
up because it's really important that
1:54
everything lines up well you'll get a
1:56
much better finish a much better bag so
1:59
then once you've done all those folds
2:01
make sure you're pretty side up and then
2:04
you're going to let it fold the way it
2:06
naturally wants to so let's do that
2:08
again you're bringing the middle up and
2:11
the sides in and it will form that
2:15
triangle and then that's what's going
2:17
down on your work surface again if you
2:19
want to just make those creases a bit
2:21
stronger but you don't have to and then
2:24
turn it so that the point from the
2:27
center of your piece of paper is
2:29
pointing to you
2:31
you're now going to fold that point up
2:33
now how much is up to you it's going to
2:34
form the Box the square at the bottom of
2:37
your bag so with this big piece of paper
2:40
I'm doing mine about an inch and that's
2:42
on a 12in square paper so obviously if
2:45
you're using smaller paper just make it
2:47
a little bit smaller and make sure
2:49
that's a good crease because that's
2:51
going to as I say set the shape of your
2:54
bag now take the right hand side and
2:57
just the front piece you're going to
2:59
fold fold it across so it's in line with
3:01
the top of the triangle and it's in line
3:04
with that triangle you folded at the
3:06
bottom so you're basically going to make
3:08
a vertical fold
3:12
there and then you can open that back
3:15
up and you're going to repeat it with
3:18
the left hand
3:19
one so you're going to bring it across
3:23
line it up with the triangle you folded
3:24
at the bottom make sure it lines up
3:26
along the top and you should get oh
3:31
excuse me a nice vertical
3:35
fold and you want it nice and
3:40
strong so then open that back out bring
3:44
the right hand on
3:45
across and then fold it back so it sits
3:48
inside that fold that you made with the
3:50
left hand piece because you want it to
3:52
sit there nicely tucked out the
3:56
way just take a moment to line it up and
4:00
then get a good
4:01
crease and then you can bring the left
4:03
hand side over the top so just show you
4:07
you've brought the right hand in folded
4:11
it back and then brought the left hand
4:13
side across and now when we fold the
4:16
left hand side back we're going to do it
4:18
differently we're going to fold it so
4:20
that it lines up with that fold that we
4:23
did before and so that the point sticks
4:26
out of the top so you can see what I'm
4:28
doing we want that point and again a
4:33
good
4:34
fold and that's one side
4:37
done so we're not going to shock you
4:39
here we're just going to turn it over
4:42
and repeat that whole process again on
4:45
the other side so I hope you're enjoying
4:48
making your origami bag and if you are
4:51
please will you give this video a thumbs
4:53
up so it's spreads to more
4:56
people and remember what you're doing
4:59
you're going to fold the right one in
5:01
open it back fold the left hand point in
5:04
open it back bring the right hand one
5:07
back in and then fold it back on
5:10
itself and then bring the left hand one
5:13
back across and fold it back and so
5:16
you'll see you end up with the points
5:17
opposite sides that stick out of the top
5:19
of the bag and that's right that's how
5:21
it should
5:23
look so at this point we're ready to
5:26
make it out into our
5:28
bag so the point you folded up at the
5:31
bottom you just need to unfold that and
5:34
then you're going to poke your fingers
5:35
in the
5:36
top and flatten the bag down so that you
5:39
get that box at the bottom don't worry
5:42
if your sides keep trying to unfold just
5:43
push them back where they should be and
5:45
you'll get there and if needs be just
5:49
tweak and pinch at the bottom just to
5:51
make it sit nicely now the points you've
5:54
got stuck up we're going to feed into
5:56
the little holes so that they hold the
5:58
sides in place so fold it outwards first
6:02
just to get a good crease and then fold
6:05
it and Tu it into the little pocket
6:07
you've got there and it should hold that
6:10
whole side in place and then repeat it
6:14
for the other side and you should then
6:16
have a nice little bag that's holding
6:18
itself together now if you want it to be
6:21
very very robust just add a little bit
6:23
of tape but I don't add any to mine and
6:26
they're great and now you're ready to
6:28
pop your gift in put a peg on or a
6:30
little sticker and enjoy gifting
6:34
obviously you could decorate it if you
6:35
want to or add tags or bows any more
