How to Make Paper Bags: Easy Wrapping with Gusseted Gift Bags – Rose Window Bags

When you want a gusseted paper bag, most people look for one to buy, but you can actually make one easily! Prepare the paper you want to use for the bag.

Fold a small strip along one edge to create a glue tab, overlap the opposite edge, and adhere it.

Now you have a tube.

Next, create crease lines so gussets form on the left and right sides, then align those creases and make valley folds.

Fold up the bottom of the bag to the width you want for the gusset, open the bottom, and squash-fold the left and right sides inward.

Finally, fold the excess top and bottom flaps inward and glue them to finish.
