Use your home printer to make cute custom gift bags!

I use these to put 'thank you' gifts in for guests and customers.

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    1- Open a new document in Word.
    2- Go to File > Page Set-up set the page dimensions to the size of your bag. Mine is 5.13” x 10.75.”

  2. Step 2 2

    3- Go to Format > Document and set all margins to .25.”

  3. Step 3 3

    4- Save your file!
    5- Insert your clip art. Go to Insert > Picture > From File… and browse to your clip art file.
    6- Position the clip art a few inches from the top. Not too far down – you don’t want it to print over the folded bottom of the bag.

  4. Step 4 4

    7- Do not skip this step, this is they key to getting your printer to feed the bags through: iron your paper bags flat with a dry hot iron.
    8- Place bag in printer tray seam side up, top going in first.
    9- Print your bags. Depending on your printer you can adjust your paper type to “heavy” and play around with other settings that will help your printed feed the bag through. I found my printer could handle three bags at a time, but any more was too much for it. Try doing just one at first and then add a few more.
