Used lunch bags from the Dollar Tree I had in my stash for this treat holder. The grocery store had the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa packets on sale this week so I used them for this treat holder. I also used various card stocks from the stash for my bags. I had seen this treat holder made long ago using lunch bags on YouTube and there are a lot of crafters that have made them up and they are easy to assemble and decorate. Here is a photo of one of my lunch bag treat holders:
All these bags measure differently so when I was cutting my printed card stocks I did one bag at a time - I cut the full back piece, the front piece, and then the pocket piece. I put the printed card stocks onto the bags using liquid glue. To make the pocket using the bottom of the bag I used hot glue for that. I added a doily from the stash for the front of the bag. In the pockets I put some chocolates and a candy cane. Inside the bag are two packs of the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa packs. I used various ribbons from the stash and tied that around the pocket and tied a bow. Used hot glue under the bow to keep it in place and tied. For the greeting on the bags:
The greeting I had hot foiled earlier this year when I hot foiled all my holiday greetings and sorted those for use on projects this year:
I keep the holiday sentiments in small boxes and I sort them by whatever colour foil they are. These sentiment strips have been used on my Christmas cards this year as well as on projects I am making for Christmas so a time saver for sure to have these already foiled, die cut, and sorted.
I put the hot cocoa treat holders into zip lock bags I had in my stash and they are ready to go - here are more of these I made:
Here is a photo to show the card stock I put on the back of the lunch bag - all the bags have a different print - and this extra card stock makes the cheaper lunch bag more sturdy:
