I spotted these Butterfly Party Treat Bags over on SimplifiedBee.com and thought ‘thank goodness, at last there’s something I can use up our endless supply of pipe cleaners on!’
Actually I think these are really sweet and would be FANTASTIC to put in Christmas stockings as well as in party bags. They’re very simple to make and ideally they’d have more sweets in, but I may have scoffed more of the kids’ stash of jelly beans than I’d remembered. You can of course put whatever you like in them – even little craft gems, other crafty items or even small coins…
N.B. make sure that whatever you put in them is suitable for the recipient and doesn’t pose a health hazard!
What you need:
- Sandwich bag / cellophane bag
- Sticky tape to tape the edges
- Wooden clothes peg
- Pipe Cleaner
- Googly Eyes – I know our middle child would squeeze at least 12 on if he made one of these.
- Glue
- Felt pen (for the spots)
- Sweets or treats
Then you just recreate the photo and suddenly you have Butterfly Party Treat Bags. Simples.
Do keep an eye on your googly eyes until the glue dries though in case they slip. That may have happened to me – not a good look for Butterfly Party Treat Bags at all I didn’t think.
Fairy letters from a world of dragons (who set fire to your lunch by mistake), Mystery Gardens (with changing adventures inside), Magical Potion Fairies, Secret Underground Passageways, Magical Tree Bark, Time Travel … and more.

How cute is this!!! And why couldn’t you have done this a few weeks ago for james’ birthday party!! 😉 definitely need to try it out. Thanks, as always, for linking up with us on the #bigfatlinky hope to see you there this week
Sorry for the awful timing! How about you make a couple for FC to pop in their stockings? 😉
Love it. A craft even I could ace that doesn’t require a ton of expensive equipment. Plus I am throwing a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed party for my tot in a few months. Thanks for sharing!!
Oooh yes these would be perfect! The hardest part I found was putting the sweets into the bags rather than my mouth…
