How to make Bunny Easter Goodie Bags
The little cotton ball tail makes me giggle. The Easter goody bags are so easy to make. You can whip them up in just a few minutes. Follow these steps to make your own Easter Goodie Bags!
- You will need a HRX Package Paper Lunch Bags, 11.75 x 7.8 x 5 inches Brown Durable Kraft Paper Bags, Paper Grocery Bags (Pack of 50)
- Take a ruler and about a ½ inch out draw a diagonal line to the center of the bag. On the other corner at about a ½ inch out, draw a line to meet the other line.
- Cut out the triangle. (If you prefer pointier ears, don't move over the ½ inch.)
- Your bag should look like the second image above when it is cut correctly. You then fill it with your goodies.
- Next hot glue a Darice Acrylic Poms: White, 1.5 Inches, 15 Pieces towards the bottom of bag to create the bunny tail. If you don't want to use white, you can use any color. The bag will be cute no matter what color pom pom you use.
- Then you tie with twine.
- You can tie in a cute little gift tag with a message also. I tried ribbon and I was not happy with the result. Twine works best. The tighter you pull and tie the string, the pointier the ears will stand. Easy peasy right?
*Note if you use a smaller bag, you won't be able to fit much in it. The pattern will have to be adjusted a bit also.
If you do not use this link to get your bag, I suggest a 12x6x4 size lunch bag or close to that size.
That is it! My Mother's Class will love these. Now be sure to check out my tutorial on How to Decoupage Easter Eggs. I have some of the most beautiful Easter Eggs placed all around my house.
They are miniature pieces of art that I enjoy looking at every year and such a fun project to do with the family!
Ever wonder how the Easter Bunny Come to be?
Fun facts! The Easter Bunny (aka Easter Hare) originated from the German Lutherans. The Easter Bunny kept an eye out on the children during Eastertide.
The Easter Bunny brought colored eggs, candy, and sometimes small toys to the well-behaved children the night before Easter. When the children woke up, they found their Easter goodies.
