How to… make funky Party Bags!
Well. How exciting is this. First Guest Posts. Then Gallery posts. And now a VLOG! Yes, a VLOG – which is a Video Log. Well, technically it isn’t mine, as I did this vlog with Incredibusymum (www.twitter.com/incredibusymum). My lovely friend and neighbour. Here we (she) will show you how to make funky party bags out of old magazines – not only do they look great, save you money, but they are also environmentally friendly! The ones made today for the vlog, will double up as popcorn bags for Red Ted! Woohoo!
What’s really great about these, is that you need to do NO cutting, just a magazine, some pritt stick and a box (e.g. tissue box). And off you go!
Once you are done, we suggest you keep them folded and weighed down a little, to really let the glue glue! And then fill them with party goodies (e.g. homemade biscuits and muffins) and impress all your guests!
PS another reason why these are fab, is as “by definition”, these party bags will feature your kids’ favourite characters… as you are using up their old magazines!!!

That is sheer genius, I hope I remember it by the time David’s old enough! (Because right now, paper goes in the mouth, and is scrumpled and thrown at the cat. I don’t think he’d appreciate them yet.)
What a brilliant way to save money and recycle. Not only that, the bags look brilliant and the kids will love them! Excellent tip ladies, thank for vlogging it.
Cheers! Will be making some for my friend’s little girl’s bday party this weekend – though will fill them with popcorn! Yum (PS if you do use them for popcorn, make sure they are glued v well.. else you will get sugar/ icing sugar/ salt everywhere!!)
Fab vlog just goes to show what you can do with your recycling paper and a pritt stick….!

This is such a cool idea.
I would have loved to do these for Ruby’s party, but we were sent some lovely party bags to review instead.
Excellent idea – I love this (and it’s my kind of craft – a bit of glue and you’re away
)

It’s a very simple idea of a box or bag to hide things in and a selection of things to hide. Thanks for the inspiration.
A fantastic idea you have, well done.
I will have to get my kids making them.
Great, have fun!
Brilliant idea, I love it!
Do you live in a little village full solely of bloggers? If so can I move in too, would be lovely.
Imagine a little village of bloggers – how cool would that be?
