As part of Family Home Evening on Monday, we watched the final of the Rugby World Cup, All Blacks vs France. Guess who we were supporting?!

These are the treat bags I made for the kids.

I was totally inspired by the adorable bags that Cheri from I Am Momma – Hear Me Roar made for Halloween. Check out the photo from her site, cute! She includes a really easy to follow tutorial on how to make them.

Halloween Treats | I Am Momma – Hear Me Roar

For my treat bags, I put the logo of the All Blacks, but you could print anything on them! I was thinking they would make great themed loot bags or prizes for birthday parties.

Themed Loot Bag Tutorial

Copy and Paste the image of your choice onto Publisher, Word or whatever equivalent you use.

Adjust the size of the image to fit the size of your paper bag, leaving enough room for the stitching and a slight border. It does not need to be exactly centred, because you are cutting the image out.

You may find that you need to tape the paper bag to some paper or cardboard before putting it in the printer. My printer caught the bottom (flat part) of the bag, just fine without taping it to paper.

Carefully sew around the image, leaving an opening.

Depending on how you printed it, and where you left the unsewn space to place the lollies in, you may need to cut your bag to access it. As you can see from my bag, I printed it so I could use the opening of the paper bag as my entry point for the lollies.

Sew the opening shut. (This is where you find out if you have over stuffed your bag with lollies! You may need to eat a few lollies to close it, but that is the price you have to pay, ladies!)

Now, all that is left is to cut out your shape, and you are finished!
