Amanda here today and I am crazy for Pebbles’ treat bags!  They come in a variety of fun patterns and can package up gifts in several different ways.

Today I will be showing you how to package up the same treat bag in three different ways using mini clothespins to secure tags and labels to each bag.

One of my favorite ways to secure a tag or label to a treat bag is with a mini clothes pin.  It eliminates the need for a permanent closure, making it easy for the recipient to get into their goodies and save some for later.

The easiest way to package treats is to fold over the top of the bag and secure the bag and tag with a clothes pin.  Embellish your tags with die cuts, popping up some with foam to add dimension.

I love scrunching the top of my treat bags to make them look like a sack full of goodies.  Tie the bag closed with a piece of baker’s twine and add a tag to the twine with a mini clothes pin.

Another fun way to package up goodies in a treat bag is to crease and fold the bag so it stands like a lunch bag.  This is a great way to package treats that need to stand upright.  I topped this bag with a folded circle and some fun die cuts.

To create a stand up bag out of a flat treat bag, start by folding in the sides of the bag about 3/4″.  This creates the creases that you’ll need to help form your bag.

Next, fold the bottom of the bag 3/4″ creating another crease.  The most important thing to do is to make all of your folds the same depth so all of your creases line up.

After you have created creases in your bag, open the bag and make nice creases all the way around the bag, creating little triangles at the base of the bag.

Secure the triangles to the bottom of the bag with transparent tape.

Now your bag should stand up nicely and look like a pretty little lunch bag.  Fill with presents, goodies, or gift cards!

Have a great day!
Amanda
