Brighten your party guests' day by handing out fun confetti favor bags after your party! The bright, cheery colors are sure to bring a smile to their faces, and we love that the bags can be reused after the party. Beads and tassels add a festive element to each bag, and a free printable favor tag completes the look. They're so cute you can showcase them in your party space as decor until you're ready to send them home with your guests. They look great on a tiered tray! Get the easy "how to" instructions for making these cute favor bags below.

Step
1

Use a paper trimmer or scissors to cut a 3.5" x 4" rectangle out of card stock or heavyweight paper. You will need one rectangle for each bag that you're making.

Tuck one rectangle inside each DIY Mini White Linen Drawstring Treat Bag. This paper will protect the paint from bleeding through to the back side of the bag, so be sure that it fits well enough inside the bag to protect the entire area you'll be painting.

Next, prepare your work surface for painting. Squeeze small amounts of Tropical Assorted Colors Acrylic Paints onto a disposable plate. To soften the boldness of the pink and blue paint, I mixed in a small bit of White Acrylic Paint. One color at a time, dip the end of a hot glue stick into each color, dab a few times on a bare spot of the plate to remove excess paint, then press onto the bag to make confetti dots. Continue with the remaining colors then set aside to dry.

While the bags are drying, cut an 8-inch length of Baker's Twine and tie a knot in one end. Thread the opposite end through a needle. Thread five beads onto the twine, then tie a knot to secure them in place.
