Valentine Goody Bags

Hi Everyone!!! Paula over at More Than Favors is having a wonderful Wacky Wednesday.

Wacky Wednesday #21 Gift & Treat Bags

I LOVE making 3-D projects and with two young boys (6 and 8 years old) I make lots of goody bags for their classes.  I have been working on some cute little goody bags for Valentine's Day. 


I made 50 of these ones...

And 50 of these ones.
The heart is from Doodle charms cut at 2 1/2".  The bag topper is a piece of red card stock cut at 3 1/2" x 4".  The mats on each of these bag toppers include a piece of white card stock and patterned paper.  The patterned paper measures 3" x 1 1/2" and the white card stock measures 3 1/4" x 1 3/4". 

The "Happy Valentines Day" stamp is a Close to my Heart stamp set called "Seasonal Celebration" that I grabbed at a garage sale this last summer. 

I bought the bags (that measure 3" x 4") at Craft Warehouse.  They sell for $1.99 for 100 bags.  I thought the price was excellent for the purpose I am using them. 


I also made an additional 50 (25 of each style) for my Etsy store.  So if you need some quick and pre-assembled goody bags, head over to CardsbyCG.etsy.com and pick up a pack of 25 bags (just add you own candy and you are good to go).





I made these ahead of time, but I'll have to add the candy a little closer to Valentines Day.  I think I'll add some kisses or hugs or some other wrapped candy. For the pictures I added some Mike and Ike's "Red Rageous" candy.  Don't they add the perfect Valentine color!! :)




After I fill the bags with candy, I'll simple staple or add some glue runner under the paper topper.  I love them and they are oh-so-simple too!! 


The back of all the bag toppers are blank, that's where my son's will write the "to" and "from" before giving them to their classmates.

    I think these Mike and Ike candies are perfect for your awesome bags. I need to start thinking about what I am going to do with my students. I have an idea, so I will run it by yah.
