DIY Advent Calendar Treat Bags


You will need:
Brown paper bags (I used plain old sandwich bags from the supermarket) Ribbon or string for hanging Decoration you wish to use Permanent marker (to write the numbers on the bags) Contents for the bags (It’s a personal choice as to what you put inside the bags.) Scissors Glue 2 wood sticksPrepare your bags.
I folded my bags down to a smaller width. This was purely for design, and to be honest, it is entirely unnecessary. They just looked so much nicer that way. I turned the bags over so the “seam” of the bag would be on the back and then folded about 1.5 inches in on each side. I glued down the flaps, and voila! A nice narrow bag that I had searched high and low for but couldn’t find anywhere.

Fill the bags.
Our bags are a mixture of ornaments for the tree, small treats like chocolate or jelly beans, small gifts such as stickers or crayons, and notes with a suggested Christmas activity such as “stay up late and watch a Christmas movie.”
Hang the bags.
You can use ribbon, or string, baker’s twine, fishing wire, anything at all that you have on hand.
