Pattern on Pattern: DIY Painted Favor Bags for Every Occasion

When Jeff and I got married, I bought a box of one,000 glassine bags to use for guest favors at our reception. It was cheaper than buying a smaller corporeality, and so I just went for it.

But then we didn't actually end upwards using them at all for the hymeneals. So, I've merely been plugging away trying to utilise them all slowly only surely (for the concluding half-dozen years). And afterward I institute these footling pastels candies at a local store, I decided to paint up a whole bunch of bags to use as a little political party favors / treat numberless.

Information technology's a super easy project that would be crawly for parties, weddings, and the holidays (both Thanksgiving and Christmas) with a few color tweaks. Here's how to make your own…

Materials:

– glassine numberless
– acrylic paint
– paint brush

Instructions:

This concept is and then basic I'm not sure instructions are really necessary. It'due south really just a matter or painting patterns onto the glassine bags and letting them dry. Once they are completely dry, they're set to use.

I put a second glassine pocketbook within each of the painted ones after they were dry out to give them more of a solid look / keep them equally nutrient safe as possible. That way, y'all can add loose cookies and candies, in addition to wrapped candies, etc.
