Hanukkah is just around the corner. My dear friend, K., and her children celebrate Hanukkah. She doesn’t have family near by to celebrate with her so I try to make a small gift for them each year. Because life seems to be getting in the way of the things I want to do this year, I chose to make easy (with the emphasis on easy) Hanukkah treat bags.
Hanukkah Treat Bags
I found these blue and white candies as my starting point.
Supplies
Blue and white candy
Plastic bag
Blue and white card stock paper
Stapler
Double stick tape
I cut the white card stock to fit the width of the bag and 4 inches tall. I folded the card stock in half so that it fit on top of the bag and made a bag topper. I added blue and white decorative paper to the front of the card stock bag topper.
I stapled the bag topper onto the bag and disguised the staple with a gift tag added with double stick tape.
It took me about 5 minutes to make these 3 Hanukkah treat bags (add 5 more minutes for gathering the supplies and distractions). My plan is to make one treat bags for each member for each of the 8 nights of Hanukkah. (I’m hoping life doesn’t get in the way of my plans).
I can’t wait to surprise K. and her family with these Hanukkah treat bags this year.

I like these bags!! And would looooooooooove to get one 🙂
You should add some chocolate coins (if you have them) as in Hanukkah there is a tradition to get “Hanukkah coins”

Thanks, Winnie. The only chocolate coins I’ve ever had were made from poor quality chocolate. I need to find some good chocolate coins to add.

These are such a great gift. Who wouldn’t like their own little treat bag?
