DIY Valentine’s Day Burlap Gift Bags – super cute and easy to make! No special tools required.
Today I am super excited to show you these cute DIY Valentine’s Day Burlap Gift Bags. I have always loved Valentine’s Day. The pretty pinks and reds. Heavenly flowers and gifts. And CHOCOLATE!!! Did I mention chocolate?!
This craft project was so quick and easy! I absolutely love projects like this one. It took no time at all to make these cute heart DIY Valentine’s Day burlap gift bags. How could you go wrong with a sweet little heart bag filled with candy?
Materials used:
- Pre-made burlap gift bags (or you can make you own)
- Heart stencil using Cricut
- Paint
- Paint brushes
- Glitter
- Twine
I found these cute little pre-made burlap bags at Michael’s right after Christmas. I love that they are blank because you can do any kind of craft project imaginable. They were super cheap too! Gotta love after Christmas sales.
I made a heart stencil using my Cricut machine. Of course, if you don’t have a machine you can always use a punch or print a template off the computer. I taped down the stencil to secure it to the bag so that it didn’t move on me.
Then, I applied acrylic paint using a foam sponge brush. I would recommended placing a piece of paper inside the bag to prevent the paint from bleeding through. Americana paint dries quickly then your done.
And that’s it. Super simple and easy. I just added some colored twine for an embellishment, but the bags come with a drawstring. You can fill these cute little bags with candy or whatever else you want. These DIY Valentine’s Day burlap gift bags would be great to make for the classroom.
