Article: You can make paper bags out of just about any type of paper you want, including: brown kraft paper, patterned scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper. Cardstock is not recommended, however, because it is too stiff. If the paper is not the right size, cut it down. Make sure that it's a rectangle. For an extra-fancy gift bag, consider using fancy wrapping paper with either glittered or flocked designs. If you are working with plain, solid-colored paper, such as brown kraft paper, it would be a good idea to decorate it. This will make it look more like a gift bag and less like a paper sack. Get out some paint and stencils, and add some pretty designs onto it. Alternatively, you can add a simple pattern using rubber stamps and an ink pad or acrylic paint. For a fancier touch, draw your designs with glue, then sprinkle extra-fine glitter onto them before the glue dries. Be sure to let the paper dry before moving on. Unfold the top flap. Run a glue stick or lay down a strip of double-sided tape along the side edge of the bottom flap. Press the top flap back down. Run your finger along the seam to seal it. If you used a glue stick, make sure that you don't get any glue on the inside of the bag. Unfold the top flap. Run a glue stick along the bottom one or lay down a few strips of double-sided tape. Press the top flap back down and run your finger across the seams to seal them. The holes should be about inch (1.27 centimeters) from the top edge. They should be closer to each other than the sides of the bag. If your paper is thin enough, you can punch the holes through both layers of paper at the same time. Consider inserting eyelets into the holes. This makes them sturdier as well as adds an element of design. Your bag is now ready to use! Insert some coordinating tissue paper and tuck your gift inside. Add more tissue paper, if needed, and fluff it out. If you folded the bag to make it a rectangle, like a traditional bag, you may have to adjust the folds you made.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a material to work with. Decorate plain paper. Secure the edges with glue or tape. Secure the bottom of the bag with tape or glue. Punch two holes for the handles on the front and back of the bag. Open the bag.
Article: A wild spring swarm is a cluster of bees that have left their hive. You can usually find them temporarily hanging from a tree or bush during the springtime. During that time of year, the swarms will be relatively docile while they prepare to establish a new hive. This is the least expensive, but most dangerous method. With beekeeping gear on, you can gather the bees and their queen into an empty hive. Place a box below the branch of a tree or bush the bees are currently swarming on. You may be able to shake the branch, causing the majority of the bees to fall in the box but this could anger the bees. Instead, simply cut the branch they are swarming on off the tree and place it in the box for transport. This method is not recommended without support from an experienced beekeeper. You may be able to purchase an established hive from a local beekeeper. This can be the easiest way to get started as well as a great way to provide you with a contact that has beekeeping experience. These hives usually only cost between $50 and $100. Make sure the hive you purchase has been formally inspected by an apiarist or the state department of agriculture. Either test is free to have conducted and can prevent you from having to destroy colonies with communicable diseases. The easiest and most common way to make sure you can establish a hive of healthy honey bees is to order your bees through the mail. The U.S. Postal Service will actually deliver your bees right to your door. A beginner order would usually cost about $30 and entail the following: A 3-pound box with 10,000 worker honey bees One mated queen that is ready to start laying eggs Sugar water to feed the colony during shipment It's surprisingly easy and safe to transfer your bees from the package they came into their new hive that you purchased for them. This process is detailed in instructions that often come with the bees as well. Simply place the separately caged queen into the empty hive Pour the bees out of the box onto the queen The bees do not currently have a hive to defend and will be disoriented so there is very little risk of being stung during this process. These colonies will take the first year to build up the number of bees inside and will not yield honey until the second year you have the hive.

Catch a wild spring swarm. Purchase an established hive locally. Order bees by mail. Place the bees in their new home.
