Clean the Bread Bags

Thoroughly clean and dry the bread bags to ensure they are free from any residual crumbs or moisture.

Trim the Bags

Trim the open edges of the bread bag to create a neat, even edge.

Seal the Bottom and Sides

Fold the bottom edge of the bag and use a hot glue gun to seal it securely. Ensure the sides are also sealed properly.

Create a Flap

Cut a flap on the top edge of the bag to serve as a closure. You can use a piece of Velcro or a snap button as a fastener.
