Hello there, today I’m sharing super easy ideas to make paper tote bags that can be used as goodie bags or treat holders.
You can use any scrapbooking paper you might have to do this and these can be done for any ocassion.

Large Tote Bag Video
For the small bag I used a 6×6 inches (15×15 cm) piece of paper
For the large bag a 12×12 inches (30x30cm) piece od paper.
If for any reason you can see the videos above click to see a video about the mini tote bag/ click to see a video about the large tote bag.
***No pattern is required. The instructions to make them are in the video.
These mini tote bags measures 4″ x 2 -1/4″ inches.

Hi Bibi, love this cute bag. To make one using 12 x 12 would you just do the exact same and double all the sizes? Thank you Joanne
Hi Joanne, thanks. Yes you can do similar folding. I have a video en YouTube to show you how to do a larger bag. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-
I hope it helps . X Bibi
Hello Bibi!! Happy New Year!!! I went to check the tutorial for the 12 x 12 tote, but it indicates it does not exist . . . I think there is something missing in the site address. Thanks so much! I have placed anonymous in the profile since I do not know how to use the other options.

That sound amazing . Thanks so much .x Bibi
Hello! Love the paper tote bags! I'm planning on making them for Christmas. Could you please tell me the measurements for a medium bag? What are the final dimensions?
Thank you!

Thank you!!
Hello, thanks for asking. The medium and larger bag are made using 12"x12" inches paper. The medium one looks a bit smaller just because I folded the top of the bag to the inside and because I made larger cuts at the sides so when I glue the sides together this also affected the width of the bag making it shorter. The larger bag measures about width 8"x length 5"x deep 2". So I would say that the medium one is about 7"x4"x2" , You can use any rectangular piece of paper to customize your bags to any size. Many Hugs and I hope you enjoy making this easy project at Christmas. x Bibi
These paper tote bags are wonderful! I could do some interesting things by my own hands!Thank you for sharing this DIY project.
