A little scoring, folding, and gluing will transform your preferred patterned gift wrap into a custom present bag (butcher paper or non-adhesive wallpaper would work perfectly, too). Included details like coordinating ribbon (an excellent usage for shorter scraps) and metal eyelets create a polished, finished look.

Guidelines.
Fold along the horizontal lines at the top and bottom, utilizing bone folder to produce crisp creases.
Using the template as a guide for positioning, create 4 small holes along the leading folded edge of the bag. Insert and set metal eyelets; each eyelet needs to go through two layers of paper. (Tip: Alternatively, you can use a hole punch.).
Apply glue along the thin, folded tab on completion to close the corner of the bag. Fold in the flaps at the bottom of the bag and secure the outer flat with a dab of glue.
Cut a length of ribbon and thread each end through eyelets, knotting inside the bag. Repeat for the opposite side.
