Owl Treat Bags

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to pop in and let you know that I am still here!  Life has been very busy the last couple of weeks so blogging will be a little sporadic for the next little while.  Don’t worry – things should be back to normal {whatever that is!} by mid July.

It seems like many of you have been enjoying summer vacation for a while now, but Matthew’s last day of school is tomorrow.  I’m not sure who is more excited!  I created these little treat bags for Matthew to hand out to his classmates.

I got the idea from these treat bags that I found on Pinterest {big surprise I know!}.

Here’s the How To:

  • Fill treat bags with whatever treats you would like.  Gummy worms would be cute {owls eat worms right?} but I wanted to use wrapped candy since we were handing it out at school.  I used small clear bags (3×4) that I purchased from the dollar store but bigger baggies could always be used depending on what you were filling the bag with. 
  • For the owl head, I downloaded the fancy frame from the Silhouette site and cut it out.  {If you don’t have a Silhouette, many scrapbook stores also carry this die cut or you can just create your own template}.  Fold the frame in half.
  • Staple the head to plastic treat bags.  DO NOT GLUE THE EYES ON FIRST!
  • For the eyes, I used a 1 1/2 inch scallop punch, a 1 inch circle {which I cut out with my Coluzzle} and a hole punch for the small black circle.  I sanded the edges of the green circle and attached it with pop dots.
  • Glue the eyes to the head covering up the staples.
  • Cut out a beak from orange cardstock.  I folded the paper over and cut out a triangle to get a 3-D effect.
  • Attach the beak with double sided tape.
  • Add a little strip of paper to the back of the owl head to cover up the staple marks.  I love cheesy sayings!

Now repeat 22 times!

I think they turned out pretty cute! 🙂

Have a great week!

  3. Super Duper CUTE! This, of course, is one if the reasons you don’t have time to blog…but if you weren’t making a zillion crafts how on earth would you share tutorials?

  5. I looooove these! And the teacher owl bags too! I’m always looking for fun crafts to do with my son, and this morning as I looked at this, he was sitting next to me, saw the pics, and said, “I want to make that owl. I want to make it right now, today.” So, thanks!
