You must print TWO treat bag templates to make one treat bag. You can print two identical templates or make the front and back of the bag different
Materials:
* something to color with (if using the B&W templates)
* scissors
* glue or tape
* paper (I prefer construction paper as it's a bit sturdier. I just chop it down a bit to fit in my printer).
* OPTIONAL: string, wool or ribbon.
Instructions:
* Print out the template of choice.
* Cut out the template along the outside lines. Cut along the dotted lines (this will be the bag's bottom. Younger kids may need help with this (it can be pre-done prior to coloring).
* You need two large bag templates to make one large bag.
* Place both of the cut out templates before you, face up.
* Glue the template on the right onto the glue tab of the template on the left.
* You should now have one long piece of paper.
* Imagine a line extending up from the dotted lines you cut. Fold along these imaginary lines, fold the GLUE tab and fold up the tabs for the bag's bottom
* Put glue on the glue tab (or tape) and glue it to the inside of the bag.
* Put glue on the tabs for the bags bottom and carefully press together.
* Attach a piece of string, wool or ribbon to make a handle (or cut a piece of construction paper for the handle).
OR
* Crimp the edges of the bag and fold the top over (so it looks like a paper lunch bag)
