St Patrick's Day is a day to celebrate Irish cultures by wearing green, going to parades and drinking green beer. This year I have made up some party favors in the colors of green and gold. A fun little favor to make and give to friends, family or put out for your St. Pat's party. This video will show you how to make your own goodie bags and personalize them too. If you don't want to make personalized labels then you can just cut out card stock the same width as your bags and the height that will look good for the size of your bag and then just add stickers or use pens to make up your own labels. Supplies: - Card stock for your labels. Word processing program to make your labels on the computer - Green and gold candies or chocolates or toys and trinkets of choice - 4.5"x5.5" (11.5cmx14cm resealable plastic bags - Gold colored tissue paper - Green paper Easter grass - Pencil with an eraser, scissors and a stapler How to make your own personalized labels. - Go to your computer and go to your word processing software - Select a blank document then select mailings - Now select labels then options - Select Avery label 55464 shipping labels - Now select new document - You should now have 6 labels with dashed registration lines showing where your labels are defined - Select the clip art you want to add. I went onto Google and typed in St. Patrick's Day then selected images. Copy the images you want to your labels. - Move the clip art to just above the dashed line and center it. You only want the art to cover half of the label because you will be folding it in half. - To move your art around I right click with my mouse and then select wrap text and choose in front or behind text. Now you should be able to move it where you want. And you can resize your image by clicking on the corners and drag in or out. - If you want to personalize your bags then select insert and then select text box. Now you can type a name or add a poem or whatever you like. Again if you select wrap text you can drag it to where you want. Music: Fireflies and Stardust
