Easy paper bag snowflakes using lunch bags

Find out how easy and fast you can make paper bag snowflakes using cheap brown lunch bags from the grocery store. This is a perfect last-minute Christmas decor idea for your home that kids of all ages can also help with. It is a super easy to follow step-by-step-tutorial!
I recently used small snack bags, white paper lunch bags, and black and white paper lunch bags to make various colored and sized paper bag snowflakes.
Check out my blog post for more detailed photos, descriptions, and paper bag snowflake patterns: cuckoo4design.com/3d-paper-sn...
Materials needed for paper bag snowflakes:
▶︎ 9 lunch bags for one 3D paper bag snowflake (white amzn.to/38RGDSs or natural brown amzn.to/38RGDSs)
▶︎ scissors
▶︎ craft glue
▶︎ stapler
▶︎ clothing pins or little clamps
▶︎ string
▶︎ fairy lights (optional) short ones with batteries: amzn.to/36SfPiX or long ones: amzn.to/2S7OkOf - I used fairy lights and not regular Christmas lights because I love the look, and they also don't get hot like standard strands of light bulbs. Please don't leave the lights on unattended since they could get hot if torn at spots. And I'm definitely not responsible for anything that might happen!!!

I took 2 pieces of light cardboard and cut it to shape and glued them to the openings on each side. it made it much easier to fully open and then used small paper clips to keep it open. This way I can save them for next year too.

Notes to self: Glue placement is imperative. Good scissors are imperative. As with most things you either got it or you don't....Im thinking Im a don't. Third try!

Love this! How did you hide the battery pack for the fairy lights

[@lauriebertrand9319]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@clairweber6041]

Probably command strip it to the wall behind it...?

[@DispatchMinion]

I did 6 bags and they only open 1/2 way! no sticking

[@juliakonya7266]

I've recently one 7 bags for some of them but I need to cut the points way down and then it works great.

@@juliakonya7266 I have tested and only 9 bags worked for me. I have Westcott Titanium scissors and cannot make it thru the bottom (32) layers, what do you suggest I use to cut?
