Christmas treat bags

Hello and Happy Holidays !
I have a quick tutorial for you on how I created these cute treat bags using the beautiful Country Christmas collection from Simple Stories featured in this month's main kit.




Step 1- Assemble materials. December main kit- Check !
I got these small red and white striped paper bags from the Dollar Store.


Step 2- Cut out a pennant from the green polka dot paper. A quick trick I use to have a perfect pennant piece is to use the corner of an other piece of cardstock or patterned paper. Trace out in pencil.




Step 3- Cut with scissors and voilà !, a perfect pennant.




Step 4- Add goodies, gift cards or small gifts into the bag and fold top edge of the bag.



Step 5- Add one of the cut apart cards from the kit and adhere on the pennant, machine stitch into place (if desired).


Step 6- Place tag at the top of the folded paper bag and using a hole punch ,punch out 2 small holes, as shown.


Step 7- Tie the tag with string and a few jingle bells.


Step 8- Decorate with chipboard and sticker pieces.

Here a look at the other bag....



These were so fun and easy to make . 
I hope you get a chance to make some for your loved ones.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
Big hugs,
Marielle
