It's Memorial Day here in the U.S. - A day for remembering those who have died while serving our country. We are so thankful for those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
I've got such a pretty printable for you today. I hope you have a friend and/or family member you would like to create this little floral gift bag for and tuck in a tag and a treat or two.
The printable also includes a tag - which can be embellished a ton of different ways!
The bag is super easy to make:
I printed the bag and tag on 28lb Hammermill copy paper. It's thicker and slicker than normal copy paper. It's my go-to paper for treat bags - love it!
You can use glue or tape to seal your bag.
The ideas for the tag are endless. I like it when things are versatile.
These are three ideas I quickly whipped up. I used dies and stamps to add some interest.
Here's how I colored the butterfly die:
I covered the entire butterfly (watercolor paper) with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.
Then add water drops. I meant to drop a few tiny drops of water, but it went a little like this: "OH, NO! Crap!". I DROWNED my butterfly. But when I wiped it off, it looked kind of cool, a little like tie-dye. The idea is to add droplets of water and dry them off with the paper towel. This was a Happy Accident!
Download the floral treat bag and tag HERE. When the treat bag image comes up,wait for just a little bit and the download button will pop up in the top right hand corner.
So glad you stopped by. Have a lovely week!
sweet little treat bag and love the butterfly with the water drops!!
