Easy DIY Valentine Treat Bags

For Valentine’s day this year I wanted to serve some of my pink Valentine spritz cookies in a fun way. I saw a similar idea on Pinterest and decided to create my own Easy DIY Valentine treat bags. Luckily I had some left over wax papers with some French printing on it from my youngest daughters weeding 5 years ago! I knew I could turn the papers into cute treat bags.

We have 6 grandkids and I wanted to give them my special pink Valentine spritz cookies in a special way. Creating these cute treat bags was fun to make. There is a little bit of sewing but don’t worry it is not hard at all. Super simple straight lines with a zig zag stitch.

Supplies needed to make DIY Valentine treat bags

Wax paper liners

Red white and pink patterns scrapbook paper

Wavy scissors or pinking shears

Sewing machine

Red thread

How to cut paper to make Easy Valentine treat bags

I took one sheet of the wax paper and folded it in half. Then using wavy scissors I cut the paper in half.

Now you have two pieces that will become two bags.

Next you will use your wavy scissors and cut up each side of the papers. You will now have two wavy sides and one wavy top. I needed my treat bags to be a bit smaller in height so I cut about an inch off the tops of the bags. You can cut yours to whatever size you need.

Scrapbook paper hearts

i simply drew a heart shape on the back of each of the pink and white and red patterned scrapbook papers. Then I cut out 6 hearts out of 3 different papers.

You can make them whatever size you want but I made mine about 2″ in height. I didn’t want to cover the entire bag with the heart. I just wanted the hearts to be up towards the top of the bag.

Sewing the Valentine treat bags

Now it’s time to sew the hearts on the wax paper. Open up your folded wax paper. Place one heart toward the top of the bag. Using a zig zag stitch sew across the heart from one side of the paper to the other.

To close the bags, sew up each open side with your sewing machine using the zig zag stitch.

Your completed Valentine treat bags

Now your bags are complete and can be filled with whatever treats you want. I filled mine with 3 pink Valentine spritz cookies. They turned out so cute!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
