Sweet Shoppe Designs – The Sweetest Digital Scrapbooking Site on the Web

Hi, It’s my turn (Andrea) to post on the blog and I wanted to share some treat bags for any occasion. They are really quick and easy to make and by choosing different ‘themed’ kits could be made to suit any kind of celebration

The best thing about these treat bags is that they can be made out of scraps for the decoration and use any type of paper bag for the main body of the treat bag

Gather together your supplies – paper scraps, ribbons, small paper bags, a few tags and small embellishments

Trim the tops off the paper bags with fancy scissors or pinking shears (just to pretty them up, not necessarily essential!)

Add sweeties, candy or small treats

Cut circles of different sizes from paper scraps – pinking shears, fancy scissors or dies make the circles look pretty but draw around your cups and glasses in the kitchen for different sized plain circles

Add folded paper circles, ribbon scraps, a tag and embellishments to the bag of treats and they’re almost finished

Add a handwritten name or holiday sentiment to the tags

Easy-peasy and so quick – you could easily make a whole batch of these in an hour or two.

You’ll have to check out the new releases in the shoppe this Saturday to find out which papers I used for my treat bags, but consider this a sneak peek of something new from Allie 😉

Have fun making your treat bags, Andrea xx
