Easter 3-D Treat Bag

Carrot Treat Bag

This cute gift treat bag will be the talk on Easter. You can stuff it with gifts or candy.

Materials-

CTMH Cricut -Artiste  #Z1790

B&T Card stock

Jute

Ribbon (green)

Adhesive

Hook & Loop dots   Z1805

Score board                                                               

Glue dots

 In page 61 of the Artiste book you will find the box. Cut it at 9". This size gives you plenty of room for candy and gifts.

Score line to create the carrot shape. 

Cut  15" of jute to make handle. I recommend that you put the jute and knot each end and secure with a piece of tape before you close the sides of the carrot box.

Once your box is glued together we start to make the topper.

Cut two 7" of green ribbon and one at 5" in length. Glue the ends of the two 7" ribbon together, as to make a circle. See picture below. I used Glue dots on mine but hot glue can also work well.

Glue the 7" ribbons on top of each other. glue the 5" circle on top as seen on the picture.

Afterwards glue it on top of the large top lid of the carrot.

Glued to the inside of lid  a Hook & Loop dot( Velcro) to easily open & close.

You are done!  Now lets make a tag!
