How To Use Parchment Paper To Create A Decorative Bag?

This guide demonstrates how to create a homemade parchment paper piping bag, which is an essential tool for bakers. The process involves cutting a sheet of parchment paper into a triangle and folding the two longer ends inward towards the middle. The top edge of the triangle is then folded inward to lock everything in place.

Parchment bags are great for fast cake decorating jobs or very delicate projects, and can also be used for melting chocolate. A piping bag is a simple yet essential tool for bakers, as it is cheap, customizable, and eliminates the hassle of cleaning up. It is ideal for decorating cakes and pastries.

To make a piping bag, fill a resealable plastic bag and cut the corner off. If you don’t have a plastic bag, cut a triangle out of parchment paper and fold it into a cone. If you want to store any left-overs, use a plastic bag since it can be used.

To create a piping/pastry bag out of a standard kitchen staple, pull out your parchment paper and cut a 12″ square of paper. Fold the parchment and cut, grab and roll, slide to form a cone, wrap the extra parchment around, and tuck. Unroll a length of baking paper and fold one corner up to make a triangle shape. Mark the crease and cut the paper into a square.

To make two large-sized, standard cones, fold a large piece of parchment paper in half crosswise to form two equally sized triangles. Crease the paper and fold the bottom edge of the paper across to the side. Cut along the edge of the paper to ensure smooth folding.
