diy watercolor treat bags

We want to introduce and welcome Cheryl of A Pretty Cool Life to share her pretty crafts with you all once a month. She’s sharing a cute DIY to pass out treats in, perfect for Valentine’s candy!

I’ve been known to go a bit over the top with pink and hearts for Valentine’s Day but since I know not everybody shares my affinity for the mushy stuff, these are a simple way to give treats without being overly festive. {And they easily work for other holidays, too!}

You’ll need:

medium weight paper
watercolor set and brush
scissors or paper trimmer
glue stick
washi tape

Start by painting several sheets of paper with watercolors. Let dry completely.

Trim sheets into 6 x7 inch pieces.

Using a glue stick, attach two of the 6 inch sides of the paper together into a tube.

Flatten one side of the tube and tape shut, creating an open ended pouch.

Fill pouch with treats or trinkets. Fold end in opposite direction of other end {perpendicular to first piece of tape} and tape shut. Please pin so your friends can make these too!

DIY watercolor treat bags, a fun Valentine's Day craft to fill with goodies!
