This idea follows my recent acquisition of 100 paper candy striped, sweet bags from e-bay (7ins x 5ins), it’s an idea I have used a few times over the years, but not using a “ready made” bag.
I trimmed about an 1 – 1.5ins from the top of the bag, only to make the finished carton smaller, I could have used the bag as it was.
Then, to make the jubbly carton type shape I squeezed the sides of the bag together ….
……. at this point you would fill the carton/bag with sweets etc. and then stick the edges together to seal the carton/bag, I just used a few dabs of pva glue…..
…. and when dry I just added a bow …. done and dusted and very simples!
Very festive! Love all the bright colors. Neat idea.
ReplyDeleteI bought some of these bags from amazon. To be honest from the reviews I expected them to be a bit thicker. This is a good idea. I work in a sweet shop and have tossed them aside thinking they would come in handy if we ran out of bags. Maybe I could use them after all. Good luck with the wedding. Enjoy the day, The Duke will be there in your heart. xx
