5. Use a bit of double-sided tape to stick the corner triangle flaps to the bottom of the bag.

6. Reverse the folds along the sides of the bag to give it shape.

7. If you like, punch holes and thread ribbon through for a handle.

All done. You can fill your Baglets with candy for party favors or put little gifts in them.

Fun and practical! I make kites of recyclable and nonrecyclable items, and teach kids, veterans, and cancer survivors, to name a few. One kite is made totally from newspaper, except for the line!
