Making a bag out of Starburst wrappers involves folding and interlocking the wrappers to create a chain, then joining the chains together to form a larger sheet that can be sewn or otherwise connected into a bag.
Here's a general outline of the process:
-
Collect Wrappers: Gather a significant number of Starburst wrappers. The more you have, the larger the bag you can make.
-
Folding: Fold each wrapper into a small, uniform rectangle. Numerous folding techniques exist, often involving folding the wrapper in half lengthwise and then folding the edges towards the center crease. The goal is to create a sturdy, consistent building block.
-
Interlocking (Linking): The folded wrappers are then interlocked to form a chain. This typically involves inserting the flaps of one folded wrapper into the openings of another, creating a secure connection.
-
Creating Sheets: Once you have several chains of wrappers, join them side-by-side to form a larger sheet. You can sew them together, or use a strong adhesive, or interlock them similarly to how the individual wrappers are connected.
-
Bag Construction: Cut the sheet into the desired shape for your bag. Fold and sew (or glue) the edges together to create the bag's structure. You can add straps, handles, closures (like zippers or buttons) as desired.
Simplified Explanation (Based on Reference Material):
The provided YouTube video snippet suggests linking the wrappers by inserting flaps through holes of another. Continuing this process links the wrappers to achieve the desired length for the bag. Multiple linked segments are then joined together to create the overall structure.
Note: The exact folding and linking method can vary. Many tutorials and videos online demonstrate different techniques. Experiment to find the method that works best for you.
