I recently made some Mickey and Minnie Treat Bags for a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party. I got the inspiration for them by searching the Internet. Based on the ideas I found, I put together my own version. I used my Cricut, but this could definitely be done without one. Here are the details if you are interested in making your own Mickey and Minnie treat bags!
Here are the supplies I used:
Cricut with Mickey and Friends cartridge
Black, white, and red cardstock
Black treat bags found at Hobby Lobby
3/4" circle punch
1" circle punch
2" oval punch
Paper trimmer
I started both bags by cutting out a 5 x 6" rectangle from red cardstock.
Next, I cut ears for both bags at 7 3/4" using the "Mickey Icon Shift" key from the Mickey and Friends cartridge. I cut Minnie's bow at 4 1/2" using the "Minnie 4 Icon" key.
I saw lots of bags made with just circles for the ears which is a good option if you don't have a Cricut or similar cutting machine!
For Minnie's polka dots I used the 3/4" punch to make 9 circles for her bow and the 1" punch to make 8 circles for her skirt.
For Mickey's pants I used the 2" oval punch to make two buttons.
Finally, I glued everything together. I filled the bags with some fun little goodies like a coloring book, crayons, and stickers.
There you have it! These bags were so easy to make and turned out so cute. The kids loved them!
Have you ever attempted to make your own treat bags? How did it go?
