Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Supplies
First, I gather all my supplies together on a large table. I have my gift bags, tissue paper, stickers, scissors, ribbon, labels, markers, filler candies, small toys, and glue ready to go.
Step 2: Prepare the Gift Bags
I pick up each gift bag and start by placing a layer of colorful tissue paper at the bottom. This adds a fun pop of color and helps cushion the treats inside!
Step 3: Fill with Treats
Now, I grab a handful of filler candies and treats – I love mixing chocolates, gummies, and lollipops. I strategically place them into each bag. Then I add a small toy or party favor for extra fun!
Step 4: Decorate with Stickers
Once the bags are filled, I take a moment to decorate each bag with cute stickers. I choose different designs that fit the party theme. It’s super fun to see how each bag’s personality starts to shine through!
Step 5: Label the Bags
Next, I take my labels or tags and write fun messages or the guests' names on them using my markers. This makes each bag feel personal and adds a special touch!
Step 6: Add a Ribbon
To finish off each bag, I cut a piece of ribbon, curl the ends, and tie it around the top of the bag. The ribbon not only looks pretty but also keeps everything neatly inside.
Step 7: Final Touches
I take one final look at my bags, adjusting the tissue paper and ensuring the stickers and ribbons are just right. I feel proud of my handiwork!
Step 8: Pack and Prepare for the Party
Finally, I gently place the finished favor bags in a box or basket, ready to bring them to the party! I can't wait to see the smiles on everyone's faces when they receive them.
