Home Made Bag

I delivered an order to a customer last week. I didn't have a bag big enough for the 15 albums, so I did a quick google search for 'origami bags' as our origami book has been packed already, and found this fantastic video tutorial. I used a large sheet of cartridge paper, & I taped the flaps at the front (instead of folding them) with some cute Japanese tape that my mum bought me. I was quite pleased with how the bag turned out (I changed the top also, by folding it & instead of cutting a handle, I just hole punched it & tied the twine to keep it closed). Here is how my bag turned out:
Here is the video if you are interested in making one, too:
