DIY Party Favor Bags

These great little bags will make the perfect end to your Birthday Sleepover
and will impress your friends too!

You will need:

1. Sheets of coloured paper (A4 size)

2. scissors

3. glue

4. a hole punch

5. coloured string or ribbon

6. a pencil and a stencil (optional)

1. Take a sheet of coloured paper of your choice.

2. Then fold it in half evenly.

3. Using a ruler and pencil, evenly mark out the shape of your bag, then mark off two further lines at the bottom corners and cut, as shown in the picture.

4. Fold over at the marked edges and glue them all down firmly. Then, using the hole punch, punch two holes at the top of the bag.

5. Turn the bag over and then cut two lengths of coloured string or ribbon and thread one through each side of the bag; knot both ends.

Finally use either a stencil or draw your own designs onto coloured paper, cut them out and stick them onto your party bag.

Once dry you can fill the bags with gifts for your friends. Why not add your friends' names too!
