Use the following tip below, but reduce the dimensions to make a "mini bag"<

Mini Gift Bag Using a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of decorative paper, score a line ¼ inch from right edge. Fold in towards center.
Apply glue stick to this flap. Roll the left side over like a tube, press behind the flap all the way to the crease. Glue in place. (See Fig. 1)

Do not fold left edge. Allow glue to dry. Roll the "tube" so that the seam faces you. Flatten with crease opened and crease tube down flat on both sides. (See Fig. 2)

Cut a decorative edge on the top edge. Cut a wedge along the top layer only of the bottom edge. (See Fig. 2a)

Apply glue stick to the extension from the bottom layer. Fold up over the cut wedge and press in place. Leave the bag as is for a packet style bag.

For a dimensional bag like a miniature grocery bag, score ¾" from sides and bottom as in Figure 3. Add triangular scores at bottom edge. Fold both ways on scored lines for flexibility. Gently open the bag and flatten the bottom. The two triangular flaps on the bottom will fold toward the center. Secure them with tape.
