What you’ll need:
Wax paper
Napkins
Gluestick
Scissors or trimmer
Brayer or rolling pin
Begin by separating the ply of your napkins, use the full color top ply. If your napkin has a faint image on the second ply you can use that for backing not so pretty paper if you desire.
Apply glue to your wax paper and place your napkin full color side down onto the wax paper. Roll your brayer or rolling pin over the top several times to ensure adhesion. Napkins don’t require much glue or pressure to adhere well. Check corners. Trim as needed to get the desired size of your bag.
Fold your wax paper on each side to create a seam in the center, glue with a stronger glue. Fold the bottom up about a half an inch, make an angle cut on each side and glue the bottom flap to the backside of the bag.
Fill your bag, fold down the top flap and secure with a sticker if you want to use it for a treat bag.
Happy paper crafting!
