for neighbor gifts this year, i decided to make caramel popcorn. {check out my recipe on my latest zupas post, here.}
i had these darling window bakers bags i’ve been wanting to use. so, the packaging just kind of fell into place!
i love how they turned out!
here’s what you need for a cute christmas goodie package:
- bakers twine or string [bakers twine is available in my shop!]
- labels
- snowflake ornaments or box toppers [i found these cute ones at target]
- bakers bags [or lunch bags will work!] *if you are intersted, i can list a few in my shop.
- a goodie to fill the bag!
just fill the bag, and tie the top with twine and secure your ornament and tag!
..now, i’m off to make more! i’ve delivered a few, but still have more to go..
