Rose Valentine Goodie Bags!

These goodie bags are a really cute way to do Valentine gifts, but they can also be used as any kind of gift favors!

They are easy to make (although a little time consuming) and they are extremely cheap.

Rose Instructions:

Step 1-

Select the colors you will want your rose. I chose a hot pink and a pale pink tissue paper. Cut several squares out, approximately 1"sq. Cutting the strips at the same time, cut out your petals. I then crinkle the tissue up to give it a wrinkled effect. This gives it a more real look.

Step 2- 

Put a small amount of glue on the bottom of one petal. (I used Elmer's Craft Bond glue stick) Now wrap the petal around a tooth pick, shaping the top to look like the inside of a rose. There is really no wrong way to make this look. The tissue is very easy to manipulate into whatever shape you want.

I used two pale pink petals for the inside. Then you used about 3 of the other color to make the outer petals. The result looks like this.

Step 3- 

Cut out the green leaf that will be added to the bottom of the flower. I used pale green card stock and a black pen to put individual names on them.

Bag Instructions:

Step 1-
Tear out a piece of wax paper about 12"sq. Fold it into thirds.

Step 2- 
Fold the bottom up about 6". Use the top opening to fill with your favorite treats or favors.








Step 3- 
Fold the top down. I used decorative scissors to make a scalloped edge.

 









Step 4- 
Using a hole punch, punch two holes about 1" down and about 1 1/2" apart. Be sure to punch through the entire layers of wax paper. This is make sure none of your goodies get out.

 The last step is to slide the toothpick through the holes to secure the bag shut.
