Style your party favors to match this season’s gorgeous fall colors by making your own fall favor bags out of pretty craft paper and ribbon! I am constantly amazed at the variety of paper patterns and colors available in craft stores, and all of those options makes it easy to find just right pattern for your party (in fact, it might be hard to choose just one!). From bright reds, oranges and yellows to muted browns and greens, the fall color combinations are practically endless. Have fun selecting just the right patterns for your celebration, then get started making your own fall favor bags!

You’ll Need:

• Craft paper
• Ribbon
• Hole punch
• Clear cello bags
• Personalized stickers
• Candy

Instructions:

1. Fill a clear cello bag with candy and lay it flat on your work surface.

2. Cut a long section of craft paper that’s as wide as the clear bag and a little more than twice as tall. (The craft paper will need to be long enough to fold all the way around the bag, with a little extra to fold over.)

3. When your craft paper has been cut to size, fold it all the way around the candy-filled bag, gathering the ends and the top of the favor bag together.

4. Holding the craft paper ends and bag top together, fold each layer over to create a flap at the top of your bag.

5. Holding the flap firmly in place, use a hole punch to punch two holes through the layers of paper and plastic bag.

6. String a ribbon through the two holes and tie immediately to keep the craft paper and bag in place.

7. Decorate the front with a uniquely shaped sticker from BigDotofHappiness.com, and repeat until all of your fall favor bags have been created. Just imagine the different ways you can incorporate these easy DIY favor bags into various celebrations!
