Today we're going to make these ADORABLE treat sacks, just perfect for special treats. I have chosen to fill my treat bags with fun little treats for my kids Trick or Treats, but this pattern can EASILY be adapted for any occasion, such as party favors or holiday gifting. Recently, Jackie and I made a ton of "fall" themed bags like this, and filled them with party mix for her son's preschool class. It was a HUGE hit! (Too bad I forgot to take a picture!)
OK, so let's move on to supplies;
As you can see from the picture above, you need:
a resealable sandwich baggie
some decorative paper
craft products such as a stapler, paper cutter, and something to score the paper
and, of course, something to put inside!
So, this is really easy. First, fill up your sandwhich baggie with your treats.
Next, cut your decorative paper so it measures 4 inches long, and 1/2 inch longer than your baggie, which is about 7 1/2 inches. Score the paper at 2 inches and fold so it measures 2 x 7 1/2. Place the fold over the "zipper" of the baggie, and staple down. Then Decorate!
For this sample, I have 2 styles: The "boo" I made on my Cricut using the Wrap It Up cartridge, the Happy Halloween is a sticker from Karen Foster designs that I found at our local craft store. Super easy! Enjoy!
