Step 1
Cut a long rectangle of paper.

Fold the paper in two places leaving a short middle section and two longer sections at either side.
Step 3
Cut two more strips of paper that are slightly wider than the middle section and slightly higher than the two sides.
Step 4
Fold the edges of the strips in so that the strips match the size of the middle piece.

Your giftbag looks great! You could make it out of different paper too, if the paper is thick enough. You could aslo decorate the parcel paper to individualize!

FUN!
