Mickey Mouse Treat Bags Tutorial by Jenny from Embellishing Life + GIVEAWAY

If you are throwing a Mickey Mouse birthday party these bags are perfect for filling with goodies, and add a nice touch to your decor!

These are super easy to make. 

You will need:

~black bags (found at a craft or party supply store)

~red paper

~black paper

~white paper

~adhesive (I used glue dots) You will use this to adhere everything to the bag

1.  Cover the lower front part of your black bag with a red rectangle.  The red rectangle size will depend on the size bag you purchased.

2.  Cut two small circles or ovals from white paper for the front buttons.  I used an oval cutter, but you can trace something the size you want, or just freehand it.

 

3.  Next cut two circles for those famous ears!  Again, I used a circle cutter, but you can trace around a glass.  Mine are about 2.5 inches.  It is easiest if you fold the bag closed before you adhere the ears.   

Now you're ready to fill it with all those fun goodies!

Thanks for having me Mayra!

Thank you Jenny!

I recently had the amazing opportunity to style a Dessert Table for my kids' school at their annual School Auction.  I want to share with you what I came up with!

Kori from Paper and Pigtails created the most beautiful banner and cupcake toppers using my logo.

Cupcakes from Magpies

DIY food labels I made

 

and Chocolate Cake Pops with some pretty Martha Stewart Crafts flowers as toppers

 

Precious Fondant Toppers from Sweet Petal Bakery , now Modern Luxe Event.

 

And Kate Landers Events hats that I recycled from our Pink Sock Monkey Party and added a little more fun to them!

Cookies by Lori's Place

 

I really enjoyed making a table for the school and donating one to a lucky winner {highest bidder} and I was so surprised when my lovely daughter suggested that I hand out cupcakes with my logo on them, she'll be a party pro one day and I thank Kori at Paper and Pigtails for creating cuteness that I can print at home!
