How to Make Bags Out of Wax Paper for Crafts, Food or Gift Giving – VIDEO
In this video, I’ll show you how to create bags of any size using wax paper, which you probably have in your kitchen right now! You’ll see me stamp on wax paper to create one of a kind bags. I’ll also use some Washi tape from Freckled Fawn, a Paper Crimper, Joy’s Life “Tag You’re It One & Two” and “It’s All Fall Puns” stamps. All Joy’s Life stamps are shipping FREE for a limited time!
Here are some of the completed wax paper bags:

What a great idea. Seems like I am always running out of the little plastic bags for little gifts and this is a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I love watching your videos. I always end up with a smile on my face. You made my day! Thanks you. Regina
I LOVE these little bags! What a cute idea. Now I have to go buy a box of this waxed paper. Just when I thought I had everything I could ever need to craft with…….lol Haven’t used my decorative scissors for ages, so it will be great to put them to use again. Thanks for sharing!!!
Super cute idea. Thanks for sharing
Love these, what a great idea! I think they’d be great for scrapbooking to hold memorabilia too. As always, you rock!
Thanks for sharing. Did you try ironing the wax paper? I used to make some projects and we would iron the wax paper. That has been many years ago and they may not but enough wax on it these days for it to hold. Thanks for the idea. Wax paper is pretty cheap.
Hi Vonette,
I remember ironing wax paper when I was a kiddo but I haven’t tried it recently. There are a lot of cool crafts you can make doing that though…if memory serves. 😉

You are BRILLIANT! This is such a great idea! I’m always looking for quick bags to use… LOVE this!

Great idea for using up scraps around the house. I wouldn’t have thought the ink would stick!
I am already thinking of 100 ways to use the little bags. Thanks. You can punch waxed paper if you take your time. Grab that piece of scrap cardstock (thinner is better) and layer it under the waxed paper. Have fun!
What a great idea! So happy you shared and I also love the idea for using them as pocket holders in your scrapbook.
love it! saved me couple bucks also! Already have waxed paper and was wanting some little bags to scrap my recent vacation and believe I could make these cuter than buying some! Just can’t get stuck on your blog lol and I have a feeling that will be a problem1! I have to have more self discipline! once i start on blogs it so hard to get off and go craft something myself!
How do you stamp on Wax paper without the ink smearing?
Hi Mattie,
If you start at 06:58 in the video, I show and explain it all. I hope that helps!
