I wanted to make some grown-up 4th July party bags for my future sister-in law’s hen weekend.  I found lots of lovely free printables and wanted to share them with you too.

I especially love the way the badges turned out, using Fontaholic’s Sweet Liberty cupcake toppers, which are the perfect size to use in my BadgeIt! machine.  I also made mini flags to decorate the front of the 4th July party bags using Fontaholic’s free printables, double-sided tape and cocktail sticks.

I found this fantastic free printable 4th July paper sack download at Skip to My Lou.  Unfortunately my printer wasn’t co-operating and wouldn’t print straight onto my paper bags.  I just printed them onto paper instead and stuck them on with washi tape – voila!

I then stabbed a cocktail stick flag through the front of each bag, using it to attach one of the badges, filled each bag with all the goodies and sealed it with double-sided tape.

I used the business card template in Canva to make the Hangover Survival Kit and Pamper Yourself labels for the bags.
