Table "gift bags"- A cute gift for guests to take home!

[sheilaann.livejournal.com]

I made up these little "gift bags" of hot chocolate and candies for my parents Christmas dinner, I have included a mini-tutorial as well :)


Here are the ingredients:

-Instant hot chocolate- 1/2 cup per bag
-Mini marshmellows- 1/3 cup per bag
-red and green holiday sprinkles (they are also called "green/red sugar")- 1/2 tablespoon of each per bag
-minty chocolate chips (mmm I'm addicted to mint!)- 1 table spoon per bag
-Christmas themed bags, at first I used celophane, but then I switched to the bags.
-Twist ties
-Ribbon
-Mini cards

First I put in the hotchocolate, then the sprinkles/"sugar", then the chocolate chips, then the marshmellows.


Then I twisted them very tightly with a red twist tie that came with the bags and then put the red ribbon on.

Ta-da! Pretty bags that also serve as the name-cards for the table, so people know where to sit!



I put on the card:
"Grandma, divide contents in two and share with a friend!"

Here are the clear celophane bags:
