Party Bags

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

This is another great project for the Glitter Sample Pack. These party bags are great for wrapping gifts, or for goodie bags. The kids could help you make them for the party.

You need:

• plain gift bags ( most craft stores sell the baker's dozen of plain white bags)
• white craft glue
• the Glitter Sample Pack
• fun foam, your choice of color
• a design that you or the kids drew (the simpler, the better)
• pencil
• scissors
• flat paintbrush

Try this:

1. Trace your drawing onto fun foam and cut out.
2. Squeeze out lines and dots of glue wherever you want glitter. You can also brush out glue to cover a larger area.
3. While glue is wet, sprinkle glitter into it. Shake off excess. let dry.
4. Glue to front of party bag.
5. Add antennae, or outline the front of the bag, add a name, or write Happy Birthday by applying glue and then glitter.
6. Stuff with goodies!

My bags have insects, but what can you draw that would make a good party bag?

Glitter on!
