easter crafts: part two, easter art kits

just a quickie today to show you what i did with yesterday’s notebooks.

i decided to make an art kit that contains:

a homemade notebook

a box of crayons

a few special stickers (some are felt and some have wiggly eyes!)

a few easter tattoos

and a mini-tube of glitter glue.

i packaged them up in some plastic bags i had leftover from a previous project and added a bag top that i designed on my computer.  i was inspired by this post and i really love the way that the packaging adds a special touch to items that, on their own, might get lost in a basket full of goodies.  everything other than the notebooks was purchased at either target or hobby lobby and the total cost of each bag came to about $1.10.  the font i used is called pea noodle’s girlfriends and is a free download from my favorite handwriting font website:  fonts for peas.  my bags were about 4.25″ wide (i also re-used the two plastic bags that the stickers had come in!) and if you’d like to use my bag tops, click on the link below to download the pdf.

easter art kit bag top

step 1:   print the .pdf onto cardstock, cut on the gray lines and then fold each bag top in half.

step 2:  fill your bags with the goodies you want to include, press the air out (you don’t have to get all the air out, just try to avoid the “pillow” effect) and fold the top of the bag down a few times so that the bag fits the contents better.

step 3:  tuck the folded bag inside the folded cardstock bag-top and staple in place.  easy-peasy!
