HOW TO MAKE MISTLETOE KISSES TREAT BAGS

I almost feel silly listing the instructions for these easy treat bags. Nevertheless, I know some people have never made a treat bag gift before and it always helps to have step by step instructions!

STEP ONE: PRINT OFF TREAT BAG TOPPERS

The first step is to print off the treat bag toppers. Decide how many treat bags you will be making and print off the number of sheets you need to make that many bags.

Fill in the form above. After you submit the form, you’ll receive an email from “Wondermom Wannabe” with a direct link to the printable. If you do not see the email in your inbox within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

Where can I find my file after I download it?

The most likely place will be in your computer’s Downloads folder. You can also select “Downloads” in your browser menu to see a list of your downloads, then simply select “Show in folder” below the file name to see where it is stored on your computer.

How do I print a PDF?

You’ll need a program that supports PDFS, like Adobe Acrobat (which is free). Open the program, click File > Print. Select your printer and set the number of copies you want to print. Double check your print preview, then click print.

STEP TWO: CUT TREAT BAG TOPPERS

Now it is time to cut the treat bag toppers apart. I like to use a paper trimmer so the cuts are nice and smooth. You can also use scissors if you don’t have a paper trimmer.

Fold each topper in half.

STEP THREE: FILL BAGS

Take some clear or decorated cellophane bags and fill them with Hershey’s kisses. There are tons of different kinds of kisses so pick your favorite or do a variety.

I personally like to use the ones with holiday wrappers.

Fill each treat bag about 1/3 to 1/2 full of kisses.

STEP FOUR: ATTACH A TOPPER

Take one topper for each treat bag and attach it to the top using a stapler. I like to do 2 staples so it is secure.

Now they are all done and you can start giving them away and making people smile!
