Easy DIY Pom-Pom Treat Bags for Valentine's Day & Smart-Fab Giveaway!

I feel like today's the perfect day for a giveaway, any objections? We're about a week out from Valentine's Day and (per usual) I'm behind on my card-writing and crafting. What about you?

Well the crafty folks over at Smart-Fab are giving Food & Femininity readers 3 sample rolls of their super versatile crafting fabric. I started using Smart-Fab when I was teaching—we'd use it to cover bulletin boards—and I've been hooked ever since. It's a breeze to cut, staple, glue, draw-on, sew, etc. This weekend I used it to make these easy DIY treat bags! Snag the instructions and scroll to the end for contest entry details...

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

- 2 (11-inch by 4-inch) rectangles fabric, corners snipped at top (optional)

- 2 (4-inch) squares fabric

- Needle and thread

- Scissors

- Hole punch

- Stapler

- Bakers twine or ribbon

- Stack the fabric rectangles; fold up the bottom to make a pouch. Make and knot two stitches, one at either corner (where my thumb is, image #1), to hold the sides in place.- Use a running stitch to sew the sides of the treat bag closed. No need to sew the bottom.- Fold down the treat bag top. Punch a hole through the layers, we'll use this to secure the bag with ribbon later!

- Stack the fabric squares. Fold like an accordion (see above) to make one fabric strip.- Fold the fabric strip in half (see image #1 and #2, above).- Secure the fabric, on the folded edge, using a stapler.- Using scissors, slice into the fabric to make a fringed edge. Fluff into a tassel-like pom-pom.

- Sew the pom-pom tassel onto the treat bag top.- Loop bakers twine or ribbon through the hole, secure and tie around the tassel to hide the staple.

- Snip any excess ribbon or threat from the treat bag. - Fill with you favorite candy, cookies, or other small tokens. You can gently wash these bags with soap and water; let dry and reuse whenever. Chose different colors based on the occasion!
