Your maid of honor and bridesmaids will love these iridescent & cherry make-up bags. Personalize them with a sweet pun or a fun reference to the song that inspired this cherry themed bridal shower, Cherry Bomb!

Not only are they super cute, they are stuffed full with goodies that will show them you are thinking about them. From sweet treats to balms and fun glasses, they will get so much out use out of them on the day and beyond.

Apply a personalized phrase to your make-up bag. I used one of the lines from the chorus of "Cherry Bomb", the song that inspired this bridal shower.

I created the phrase on my Cricut and cut it out on stick-on vinyl before applying to the make-up bag.

You can also use adhesive letters, stickers or trace stencil letters onto vinyl and cut by hand.

Cu a length of Green Chenille Stem and thread through the ring holding the handle onto the bag.

Wrap the chenille stem around a red pom-pom tightly. Once wrapped, puff out the pom-pom around the stem. Cover the stem wrapped around the middle so that you only see the red pom-pom.

Next, adhere the lip balm cover to the lip balm. When you have applied the lable, put the lip balm into the make-up bag.

Next, add the remaining items into the make-up bag - chocolate caramel balls, red lollipops, Black Nomad Sunglasses and a note card of thanks to your bridesmaids.
