Valentine’s Day Treat Bags Tips:

Stamp The Treat Bags

I find it easier to place the ink pad on the rubber stamp. You want to ink around all parts of the stamp, especially the edges.

Be sure you are stamping on a hard surface. You want to place the inked stamp in the center of your treat bag and press firmly. You don’t have to put your weight into it, but rather just press straight down.

This will help avoid any bleeding. Also, trust me when I say don’t try to line it up and stamp a second time-it never works. Ask me how I know this. 🙂

Tips For Stamping The Treat Bags

Lift the stamp up slowly so you don’t get any ink on the rest of the bag. Don’t worry if it comes out a little light, that just adds to the vintage look of the stamp.

Don’t you love the boy and girl on the bicycle? I was a stamp demonstrator for several years and have had this stamp forever. I forgot how much I missed stamping. It’s such a relaxing craft.

You can use any color ink you like and also use more than one stamp if you want. I had a smaller heart in my stash that was the perfect size for these little treat bags.

Ideas For Filling The Treat Bags

Here are some ideas for what to put in these little bags.

The obvious one is candy. Hershey kisses, mini peanut butter cups, any small wrapped candy that the recipient likes.
For my nieces, I plan to make small heart shaped crayons with a mold. Stay tuned for that!
Non-candy ideas for kids would be erasers, mini gel pens, little games that you can find at the dollar store.
For my sisters I plan to add handmade soaps, or bath bombs. You can wrap it in parchment paper.
Turn them into sachets by filling them with lavendar. You would just have to hot glue the top closed.
This bag is the perfect size to hold a gift card too! Or even a little cash.
