Here's a great Halloween or Valentine's gift bag idea that's different from the usual gifts.

Print out the topper of the bag onto

a sheet of cardstock.

Then attach the topper to a

5" cellophane treat bag.

(Instructions below.)

The printout will make four treat bag toppers.

Size the printout to fit a full page.

Be sure to print it out on cardstock so that it will be sturdy.

To Print out the treat bag topper:

Just click on the picture to make it larger, then right click and save it into your pictures, or copy and paste it into you printing program.

To see the instructions in greater detail scroll down the page.

Here are the printouts:

Happy Halloween:

I also have an older post (see below) that is just gift tags.

Happy Valentine's Day:

Here's a single version that you can

resize to whatever size that you need:

Instructions on how to make a a treat topper:

Here's how easy they are to make:

Print the graphic on to card stock.

Fold graphic over at the top along the top red edge:

Cut around the red edge on the two sides and the bottom,

but do not cut the top red edge at the fold.

The closer you cut to the red line, the more professional your treat bag will look.

I cut the 5" wide cellophane bag at about 5" high,

but you can make it as long as you like.

Fill the bag with kisses and bugs.

Tape the top of the cellophane bag to the inside of the card at the bottom edge (see above).

This step just makes it easier to staple.

Fold the card over and then put 3 or 4 staples
across the bottom red edge.

Make sure to get the front and the back layer of the topper so that the bag is securely attached.

Then cut out a little bite in the upper

left corner of the card.

Now you have an impressive treat bag to

give to your guests!

I hope that your "Bugs and Kisses"

treat bags were a big hit.
