Fanciful Favor Bags

Fill these bags with stationery, soap, or other items.
Martha Stewart Living, April 2006

Fill these bags with stationery, soap, or other items. For each, you'll need a green gift bag and an off-white lunch bag that has the same-size base. Keeping green bag folded, cut off top two-thirds. Cut a grass design into the bottom portion, being careful not to cut the base; unfold. Place double-sided tape on the base of off-white bag, and fit it into green bag. Hot-glue a miniature clothespin to a fabric butterfly (remove wire if necessary); let dry. Pin butterfly and name tags to top of bag.

    OR....you can google image search "butterflies" and print out on cardstock a bunch of them...cut out and glue to clothespins. A lot cheaper,faster and easier!!

    If you can't find the green bags, green gift wrap works great, too. Just use the double-sided tape on the sides of the white bag. Allow a little extra for overlap on the SIDES of the bag.
