A step-by-step pictorial guiding you in making your own treat bags.
so lets begin…

step1

1.jpg

 
I took an A4 size paper. 
(The paper size would depend on the size of your gift.)
Folded half-inch margin at one edge.
Folded the remaining paper into half.

 
step2

Folded /Scored half an inch at the one end of this folded paper
and one and a half inch at the other end.

step3
 Opened the sheet and cut the marked parts.

step4
 
On cutting/trimming the marked parts, you get a sheet with scored sides.

step5
 I took Archival ink and my favorite stamp sets.
I took two images from the stamp set and stamped the images randomly all over the sheet (rotating the image randomly) Let the ink dry before the next step.

step6
Here, I have used different colored papers to make the treat bags. You can also use a white sheet and lightly color these stamped images.

step7
 
Once the ink dried, I adhered the adhesive tape to the two margins on the sheet. Peeled open the tape and assembled the treat bag by bringing in the sides together. The one and a half inch margin remain open as it is the lid/cover of the treat bag.  Repeated the process with all the three bags.

And the treat bags are ready….

step8
To decorate the treat bags….
On a watercolor card-stock, I stamped the critters from the Hogs and Kisses stamp set, using Archival ink. Colored the critters with zig markers and fussy cut them.

step9
Cut tags from scrap pieces of CS. 
Assemble the tag using the fussy-cut critters and the sentiments.

step10
Now fill the treat bags, tie a ribbon/twine around it to close it. 
Tie the tag along with the ribbon/twine.
