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 (3x4) 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!
