Miniature Valentine's Day Gift Bags
This Valentine's Day's prettiest presents will arrive in sacks with patterns as delectable as the treats tucked inside.

Thanks Martha for sharing this. I will be making this for my beloved one this Valentine.
Way cool! Now I throw in a packet of TickleMe Plant seeds in all my gift baskets. The TickleMe Plant seems to love affection as it closes its leaves and
lowers its branches when you Tickle it or blow it a KISS. See video if you need a unique low cost gift.

I love these, too! I made them for Valentine's Chocolate candy. They are printing fine for me (you need adobe reader) but I can't find how to enlarge them without going to a copy shop. Any ideas? And I love the idea of using scrapbook paer around a cereal box! Presentation is everything!
Ldybugsrus, you can print in black and white. It's in your printer settings when you click on "print". Choose "black and white" instead of color and then it will only print from the black cartridge.

On the show the other day, Joey's idea was fantastic; put all the templates in a book. In fac ,a binder typ book would be great for purchasing!
Is it possible to remove the patterned design of the bags? I just want an out line so I can print on scrapbook paper. No point in wasting colored ink, if your printing on patterned paper.
If you can't get the template to print, try taking apart a bag you already have and using that as a pattern. You can also use scrapbooking paper for these - so many great prints to choose from!
For years I've been looking for a template to make paper bags! It is a great way to recycle old calendar pictures. (As long as you don't mind seeing the calendar grid and your old appointments on the inside!)
I'm in charge the Young Women at my church and we're making these for an activity for them to give to their friends--awesome idea!!
Altered the sizes and used paper from old wall paper books this made them much sturdier. It also gave me a much wider variety of sizes, patterns and colors. For people having trouble with downloading you may need to upgrade your Acrobat Reader or go to Adobe and download the free reade. I used Adobe reader for this pattern and had no problems.
All my friends love the bags. They think I am so talented. I tell I owe it all to Martha. Martha I love you. Marie
These tiny bags are so cute. I make them for every holiday in different sizes using my own paper.
This is an Acrobat PDF file. It opens in Acrobat Reader. I had no trouble opening it.
I could not get the templates to open up. i kept getting an 'error' message.
it wouldn't open :-((
I printed this template without enlarging to use for a small birthday gift. It turned out
so cute and perfect.
I can't get the template to show. Would love to do for my granddaughters classroom.
Super easy to make. My daughter's birthday is on Valentine's Day. I used heart colored card stock and made 20 of them in 1 hour. I will use twine as the handle and fill with candy.
I printed these on cardstock and they are super easy to give to the kids at daycare. I used scalloped edge scissors for the top and used fibers for the handle. I didn't even enlarge the template. I used as is since they have such little hands.
Cute idea - template shows fine for me
Thank You
I really like these BUT the template wont show.
