Have kids at home? Want to give them a little treat? We’re sharing an easy Easter Treat Bag that you can make and fill with their favorite Sweets.
You can make it with some Designer Series Paper that you have at home or make the standard version with card stock that you’ve decorated.
Here’s the Designer Series Paper version that Ann started during our stamp show. She also gives an idea for an upgrade during the show.
Isn’t it nice looking? Using Tear & Tape for adhesive makes the bag stronger, but putting a small (slightly smaller than) 2″ x 3″ piece of card stock in the bottom will make it even stronger.
We’ve cued Thursday’s show up right to where Ann starts making this 2″ x 3″ Easter Treat bag that’s 4″ tall. You can easily make it taller.

The cardstock version is easy. It’s known as the 2-4-6-8 bag.
- Start with a piece of card stock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
- You can make 2 from one piece of card stock.
- Along the long side, score at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″
- Along one short side, score at 2″
- Watch the video for the easy cuts to turn this into a small bag.
The DSP version is slightly different for an elegant look.
- Start with a 6″ by 10-1/2″ piece of Designer Series Paper
- You can make 2 from one piece of 12″ x 12″ at this size.
- Increase the 6″ side to make it taller.
- As Ann talks about in the show, you could add an inch at the top and fold it down.
- Along the long side, score at 2″, 5″, 7″ and 10″
- Along the short side, score at 2″
- Watch the video for the easy cuts to turn this into the bag as shown.
