They are so simple to make. Just take a strip of paper 4cm wide by 12cm long. Score the strip into 4 sections, measuring 2cm, 4cm, 2cm, 4cm.
The first 2cm makes the flap of the bag, the next 4cm makes the back, the next 2cm is the bottom of the bag and the final 4cm makes the front.
I have used 4 Twilight mints inside my bags , just tape them together so they don’t fall out, and secure them to the bottom of the bag with a sticky pad. Add a short length of ribbon at the crease of the flap for the handle, and then use another sticky pad to fasten the bag together. Finish off with an embellishment of your choice for the fastener, I have used gems. Simples!
Since I first posted these bags back in 2009 they have changed the wrappings on the Twilight mints - to plastic instead of foil and paper (not so classy!!!) but you could use Cadbury minatures instead. The basic template & dimensions can easily be tweaked to suit whatever confectionary you want to put in them.

You could easily make them in backpacks as well for the boys - just have coordinative paper straps on the back, mmm... Janex
