Useless Guide - How to make a present bag

I noticed an alarming trend among my friends recently! No one ever wrap presents anymore! Birthday gifts are put into paper bags and given away... How can?! Shredding wrapping papers to pieces is one of the biggest pleasures in the world!

So, today, Miss UGM decided that it is time to share tips on how to wrap an irregularly-shaped present.

Firstly, we need to fold the wrapper into half and tape the ends together.

Make sure the length of the paper is way longer than the present itself.

Fold the bottom of the paper upwards so that it is longer than the base of the present itself.

The sides of the base have to be turned inwards.

Repeat for both sides.

Fold the bottom up.

Use a ruler to make sure the other side is parallel to the just folded side.

After folding, it should look like this:

(Complete with peace-loving fingers)

Open the folded sides and place double sided tape on strategic places as shown.

Don't forget the horizontal parts at the top and bottom.

Peel off the backing to the tape.

And fold both sides down again.

Give the half-completed present bag a 180 degree turn and fold the sides inwards.

Repeat on the other side.

Flip the bag over and you will get this:

You are now ready to open the bag up.

The base will look like so:

The front:

Monkey can now enter its temporary home!

You can cut the top of the bag like this:

Don't forget your double-sided tape at the strategic place! And your peace-sign!

Here's what the side will look like after cutting a flap:
