Easter Quick Make

I wanted to give some little eggs to some friends children but wanted to make them look a little special, however, having been away from home I was pressed for time. So, I  had a a quick review of my craft stocks.I found I had  lots of bits of brightly coloured card and some odd bits of decoupage that I had not used to make cards, plus several oddments of ribbon so the simplest of solutions would be to create some small gift bags. I think they turned out well, obviously if you had more time you could make some really fancy bags using lace flowers buttons, stamps etc 

Once finished I then filled them with little mini chocolate eggs.I hope they are well received, I guess though as chocolate is involved they'll be appreciated  

The finished little bags


If you like to try to make some bags of your own the template is below.To see a details click on the image below to enlarge it. You can decorate however you might wish.

I think I might make use of this idea again at Christmas to create little bags for the table rather than crackers, which though fun seem to generate a whole lot of mess and bits a little bag like this would be much greener (environmentally speaking) and could be filled with things guests actually want rather than yet another tape measure or spinning top.
