MATERIALS: • Construction Paper (Lots of different colors) • Glue/Tape DIRECTIONS: 1. Pick two pieces of construction paper; one for the bag and one for the tie. 2. Using one piece of paper, fold the long ends together overlapping one side by 1/2 an inch. Glue or tape them together using that 1/2 inch overlap you folded. 3. Next, fold the bottom of one side upwards about 1/3 of the way. Then fold the corners of that fold together lifting the paper to make a diamond shape. 4. Place your gifts in the box, and use glue or tape to secure the flap closed. 5. Cut out a tie shape from your other piece of construction paper. Attach it to the box flap using glue or tape. 37
