Quick Treat Bag Toppers
by Kim Moreno
Supplies:
Jillibean Soup
Patterned Paper: Christmas Chestnut Soup collection- Whole Cloves/Sweet Chestnuts/ White Sugar
Journaling Spots: Christmas Chestnut Soup collection
Corrugated Shapes: Flowers
Bean Stalks: Snowflakes Ribbon, Red/Brown ribbon (bakers twine)
other: Fiskars border punch, Ziplock snack bags, Pop Dots
By keeping this project simple this is something the kids can accomplish on their own and be proud to hand out to their friends, family, and classmates! Have fun!
1. Gather supplies.
2. Cut 3"x 7" piece of red cardstock, fold down the center lengthwise. Use Unity/Jillibean Soup stamp on the back of the cardstock piece as shown. (part of the stamp will hang off the edge, that's ok). Take border punch and punch along the opposite long side of red cardstock, (as shown on example)
3. Cut 3/4" thick strip of kraft patterned paper, adhere across red cardstock, trim edges.
4. Wrap bakers twine around 3 times and tie into bow.
5. Adhere journaling spot using a pop dot and move bakers twine around to where it sticks out the side of the journaling spot as shown.
6. Fold card over the top of the treat bag.
7. Staple under journaling spot making sure to staple card and bag together.
8. Staple the opposite side the same way.
Variation: For some of the toppers I layered the journaling spots with the corrugated flower shapes. Use pop dots between layers to help them stand out.
Thanks so much Kim!
Have a great weekend!
What an awesome idea, Kim!
