How to Make a Vest With a Paper Sack

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Friday, May/10/2024

1). Sketch a collar on the bottom flap of the paper sack using a pencil. Lift the bottom flap and draw a straight line down the length of the bag.
2). Fold the bag over lengthwise so the sides of the bag are facing up. Draw a circle for an arm hole. Repeat on the opposite side of the paper sack.
3). Cut along the lines you drew with scissors. Cut along the bottom portion of the vest to form fringe for a Native American or '60s vest. Form a "v" shape at the bottom of each front side of the paper sack for a cowboy vest.
4). Color the paper bag with markers. Draw symbols for a Native American or cowboy vest.
5). Embellish the paper sack vest with feathers or beads.
