DIY - Cookie / Treat bag -

I have started preparing my daughter's birthday party this week. Today she insisted we bake so I thought I'd take advantage of the extra pair of helping hands (by which I mean try and make a very messy situation be more than just a lesson in patience for me, a bonus for the cleaning product industry and an opportunity for flour and sugar to be transported to every surface in the house) by preparing a tutorial.

Step 3 is highly optional. As I waited to see if my cookies were edible I tucked into the chocolate teddies and bagged one up. You could use bought biscuits or even chocolate and sweets.

Step 1: Buy and download a MillyBoo Designs party pack.

Step 2: Print copies of cookie bag toppers

Step 3 :Bake cookies. Use a recipe. Baking is considered a science because measurements should be exact - not highly experimental. If you have had past success creating a tasty batch of cookies consider it luck,  not proof you may be the next Nigella.

Step 4: Cut out toppers. Cut out cardboard if you want extra strength.

Step 5: Put cookies in bag after 'quality assurance' has taken place.  I used size one bags from spotlight.

Step 6: Use sticky tape, double sided tape or staples to hold the bag in place.

Step 7: Eat leftovers. Sharing with the kitchen hand is optional.

Hope this is helpful :)
