Valentine’s Day Burlap Treat Bags

This year I am hosting my first “Galentine’s” Day party with some of my closet friends and I wanted to make a little something they could take home with them after our party.  These Valentine’s Day Burlap treat bags are just the perfect craft to make for friends and would even make a cute classroom gift for smaller classrooms. 

Supplies needed for Valentine’s Day Burlap Treat Bags

You only need a few simple supplies for these cute treat bags.  You can make them with or without fabric depending on what you have or what style you are looking for.  I decided to do a few bags with a polka dot fabric heart for a slightly different look and texture.  The rest I used all vinyl.  This post contains affiliate links.

• Cricut Maker
• FabricGrip Mat
• Fabric, of your choice
• Burlap Treat Bags
• Iron-on Vinyl, I used Everyday and Glitter 
• Design Space File

If you decide to make some of your treat bags with a fabric heart you will need to use the star of the show, the Rotary blade.  The rotary blade is a sharp blade that cuts beautiful designs and of course simple shapes out of soft fabrics for sewing projects or crafts involving fabric.

Do I need to apply fusible interfacing to the fabric before cutting?

For this project I didn’t adhere any fusible interfacing to the fabric before cutting.  I used fabric glue, such as Liquid Stitch to attach the heart to the burlap bag because I knew this bag won’t get heavy use.  If you would like extra strength you can iron on thin fusible interfacing, I personally love the Lite Weight Heat N Bond, to the fabric. Make sure to follow the interfacing instructions, and continue to cut the fabric.

How to make Valentine’s Day Burlap Treat Bags

1. Begin by cutting out your various pieces using the Design Space File. I cut the larger heart out of fabric and the small heart and the personalized name out of iron-on vinyl. Feel free to switch around what you use to customize it to your liking. I love the fabric look and personalized name but I equally love the all vinyl versions as well!  That glitter iron-on vinyl is just my favorite! 🙂 
2.  Press your Iron-on pieces to the burlap bag with an EasyPress or Hot iron, following the directions for the specific iron-on vinyl you are using. 
3. Slowly peel off your plastic sheeting when ready. 

What do I put in my Valentine’s Day Burlap Treat Bags?

There are so many things you can put inside these cute treat bags but I would make sure whatever you put inside, food wise, is wrapped. 

Here are some fun ideas to feel your treat bags with:

• chocolate hearts
• favorite wrapped candy
• chapstick
• mini hand sanitizers
• nail polish
• stickers (kids)
• mini bubbles (kids)
• gift cards
