DIY Favor Bags by Twig & Thistle
And speaking of fabulous DIY details, I am so excited to share this adorable project for DIY Gift Bags that Kathleen of Twig & Thistle designed exclusively for SMP readers. It’s too cute to resist and I am pretty sure that I am going to be making these time and time again. Kathleen is behind some of our all time most popular DIY features including these adorable hot cocoa bags and these perfect favor boxes. You can check out all of her goodies on her etsy shop, as well as some pretty fab ideas on her blog, perfect for the chic crafty bride.
Materials
Ink Jet Color Printer
5×7 White Paper Bags
Treats
Instructions
1. Download the bag graphic and type in names and wedding date in spaces provided. Follow the directions in the PDF for printing with an Ink Jet Printer. If you don’t have an Ink Jet or if your printer doesn’t allow you to print odd formats, you can print directly onto sticker paper (found at office supply stores) and post apply to the bag.
2. Help maintain freshness and keep sweets from leaving oil stains on the paper bag by lining with a glassine envelope.
3. Add a little more detail to the bags and scallop the top with a pair of pinking shears or rotary cutter.
4. Fill bag with treats and serve!
White paper bags can be found here and glassine bags can be found here.

OMG! Those look soooo yummy! What a cute idea!
Bridal diet sucks. I want a doughnut! Oh, and the bags are cute, too. :)
So cute! But for some reason I can't open the pdf (it's asking for a password)
Thanks so much for posting these Abby! I had so much fun putting them together.
Jessica, the file can be opened in Adobe Acrobat or Preview. You can download a free copy of Acrobat here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO
Hope that helps!
SO adorable! Love the color palette, and the whole thing was styled & shot beautifully. Fabulous job Kathleen, I am forever envious of your creativity!
Is there a way to change the colors?
Love these! What font is the "married" text in? It's beautiful, might want to use that on other parts of the wedding goodies!
I would love to use this template for our cookie bar! Im also wondering if the colors can be switched? Also, does anyone know how to line the bag with glassine?
Hi there! Unfortunately the software doesn't allow for color changes but if you're interested I do offer custom work so feel free to contact me through my blog.
Also, to line the bags with glassine all you need to do is place a glassine bag inside of the paper bag. The glassine bags are just slightly smaller than the white ones so they fit perfectly and are easy to put together. :)
those are such a fun idea - but those treats! look scrumptious
I love this, so easy and quaint
The sparkles on the doughnut are a magical touch! The favor bags are delightful! Thanks for the great "how to"! Fun idea!
bags are cool, but those donuts are to die for!!

I love these bags. What wonderful favor bags with many uses.
Hi my loved one! I want to say that this post is amazing, great written and come with approximately all vital infos. I would like to look extra posts like this .
Were these glassine bags? I have been trying to print on them with an ink jet printer (tried 2) and the ink smears all the time. I assume because of the wax. Any ideas. I already bought the bags so Im trying to figure out how to Do it myself without paying someone to do it. I already created the design myself in photoshop.
