    Introduction With a few snips and folds, and a little imagination, you can turn humble paper bags into party-perfect decorations.
    You can use gusseted bags of any size for these hanging flowers; each flower is made from six bags.

    Step 1 Fold the bottom of a bag in on itself. Cut above the lower fold, removing the bag's bottom. Trim the top into a petal shape.

    Step 2 Punch a hole about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Repeat process with five more bags. Apply double-sided tape to the front edges of a bag. Place another bag on top, and repeat to stack all of the bags. Draw a length of string through the hole in the stack; knot it loosely.
