Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First, I gather all my equipment on the table. I have my treat bags, ribbon, stapler, scissors, decorative labels, markers, cellophane wrap, festive stickers, filler material, and of course, all the delicious candy and treats I want to include!
Step 2: Prepare the Treat Bags
Next, I take a treat bag and open it up. I make sure it's clean and ready to fill with goodies. This is where the fun begins!
Step 3: Fill with Filler Material
I take my filler material and add a generous amount into the bottom of the treat bag. This makes everything look nice and also prevents the treats from falling to the bottom.
Step 4: Add the Candy and Treats
Now, I can start adding the candy and treats! I mix and match different types of sweets - chocolates, gummies, and cookies. I love picking treats that fit the festive theme!
Step 5: Seal the Bag
With all the treats added, I carefully gather the top of the treat bag and use my ribbon to tie it off. I make a lovely bow to ensure it looks festive and fun!
Step 6: Decorate with Labels and Stickers
Now it's time to add some decoration! I grab decorative labels or tags and write festive messages with my markers. I stick them onto the bags and add some festive stickers to give it an extra pop!
Step 7: Wrap It Up (Optional)
If I have some cellophane wrap, I wrap each treat bag up for an elegant touch. I tie it off with a ribbon on top, making each treat bag look like a little present!
Step 8: Repeat for More Bags
I love how my first treat bag turned out, so I repeat the process for more bags. Each one is unique and filled with delightful goodies!
Step 9: Display or Gift the Treat Bags
Finally, I find a nice way to display the treat bags, or I prepare to gift them to friends and family. I can't wait to see their faces when they receive these festive treats!
