DIY light bags yourself: Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the tracing paper

Fold a 1 cm wide adhesive edge on the short side of the tracing paper. If you want to design your light bags in different heights, cut the other two transparent papers on the long sides by 1.5 cm and 3 cm respectively.

Step 2: Stamp the tracing paper

Now place your personalised stamp motif on the paper. Take the silicone stamp and attach it to the clear stamp holder. Dab the stamp evenly with the ink pad and press it onto the centre of the tracing paper. Make sure that the adhesive edge is in the centre and your stamp motif is clearly visible.

Step 3: Gluing the paper together

Take the double-sided adhesive tape and stick the tracing paper together at the 1 cm wide adhesive edge to form a cylinder. Press the glued area firmly so that the cylinder is stable. Seal the top of the cylinder opening with the adhesive tape too.

Step 4: Attach the wooden spatula

To add the finishing touches to your light bags, glue the wooden spatulas to both sides of the cylinder opening. It is best to use hot glue for this, as it offers particularly strong adhesion.
