I’ve decided to create a table full of all things things ‘Valentine’s Day’ and I’ll show you everything that it contains over the next couple of days. But today is the day of these super simple candy favor bags with a Valentine trim.

I have used clear cellophane bags to hold various bon-bon’s, chocolate covered almonds…….oh and more bon-bon’s. Valentine’s Day screams bon-bon’s to me and part of me wishes I’d filled the bags right to the very top.

I filled the bags with the candy, turned them over a few times at the top and held the bag closed using a clasp made from a strip of scrap booking paper and a paperclip with a felt heart stuck on to the front of it. You could also use wrapping paper, card or even a strip of wallpaper as the trim. And feel free to embellish the felt heart with a wee button should the mood take you.

I think the attraction of these paper clasps is that each one can be individual depending on the paper and the colour of the hearts. This, in turn, makes the table you present them on look like an explosion of colour has taken place and is very bright and welcoming. Especially in February when it can still be dark at times.

I only made four of theses favor bags but seeing as they only took about five minutes each to put together it’s possible to make many more and not feel like you’ve wasted a day. So, depending on how many guests you have coming to an event you may be hosting or even just attending get filling those bags. And of course these bags can be adapted to fit MYRIAD events not just Valentine’s Day. Changing the colours is all you have to think about.

Have fun, love bugs!
