You'll only need four bits of tape - as little as possible.  Two sets of hands (or three if you can get 'em) are an advantage!

First of all you need to make a loop the same size as the opening of the bag.  Cut to length leaving enough to twist the ends together - be careful you don't stab yourself with the wire - but it should be so thin it shouldn't actually cut you.

The next thing you'll need to do is start taping it to the rim of the bag.  ignore any handles (preferably don't use bags with handles) and use just the rim.  The first bit you want to tape is the bit you've twisted to give it a bit more rigidity.  Tape four times equally distance (so divide it into quarters as it were)
