How To Make Your Own Elf Movie Holiday Treat Bag
This holiday treat bag could not be easier to make with terrific results.
Start by decorating your bag with the liquid chalk marker. The chalkola markers I have in the links below are superior. The chalk is so smooth and the fine tip is great for this design.
Be sure to make a window about 2"x2" somewhere on your house for Elf to enjoy!
When drawing your window, make a casement style or 2 shutter style so that you can slice them open, fold and reveal Elf.
Next cut a piece of white card stock, chip board or cardboard that's been covered in white copy paper (or not) to the width and 2/3 of the height of your bag - approximately 5"x8"
Next, slide the card stock into the FRONT of your bag.
Make sure it's on the top of the bag side folds.
With your X-acto knife or sharp paring knife or even the point of sharp scissors, cut open the window for Elf.
Now, glue Elf in the window and fold your window closed.
Fill your bag with goodies, fold over the top into a point, hole punch two holes and string a ribbon.
Tie up with a bow and get out there to spread joy in the happiest season!
What to Include in a You've Been Elfed Treat Bag
