Valentine Treat Bags
Make Valentine treats extra special with these pretty Valentine treat bags!
Just cut two pieces of coordinating paper. Both pieces should be 11 inches long. One is 4 inches wide and the other is 3 inches wide. Center the narrow paper strip on the wider strip and glue together.
Turn the paper over and mark these measurements. I marked it lightly with a pencil. (This is the inside and no one will see it.) Then fold on these lines. I like to use a scoring tool and a ruler to get crisp folds.
Fill a bag with your favorite candy and place inside. ( I used Hershey's kisses.)
Fold the paper and staple it shut. I made sure I stapled the bag of candy too so it wouldn't fall out.

I found these pretty paper roses at Michael's in the dollar section and had to have them.
Aren't they sweet?
