Valentine's Day crafting

The Little Guy saw a Snoopy treat bag kit in a catalog and decided he wanted to make them for his classmates for Valentine's Day. I thought they were cute and they weren't very expensive so we went on the company's web site this weekend to order them...and noticed the shipping time was 10-14 BUSINESS days, unless I wanted to pay another $16.99 for faster service. Um, no.

So, I raided my craft stash and found these little bags:

Then I got on Google and searched for Snoopy images, spent 30 minutes in PhotoShop, and voila! - our own version of Snoopy treat bags. Never underestimate the power of an aggravated, crafty Momma!

I thought I'd share a printable version in case you'd like to make your own. But since Snoopy is copyrighted and I don't want my little blog to go to jail, I made another version with free clip art (found here, in case you want the original artwork).

These will print out with 4 different tags on a single sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Just cut them out, fold them in half, write the "to" and "from" names on them, and staple them to the top of your bags. If you use them, please come back and post a comment. I'd love to see them in action!

I'm sharing this on a couple blogs:
