  Step 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.

  Step 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.
