Favor bags ahoy! These striped giftbags would be perfect for Halloween or a pirate themed birthday party. It even has a tiny sword pick for closure!

Fill them with a bunch of tiny treats and treasures! We filled ours with gold chocolate doubloons, piratey tattoos, and candy jewelry loot.

Materials Needed: Pirate stripe PDF, pirate gift tag printables, x-acto knife, hot glue gun, sword party picks, hole punch, twine, scissors, embroidery needle

Step 1: Print out the pirate stripe template on printer paper. 

Step 2:  Fold the paper to form a tube and hot glue the edge to secure.

Step 3: Fold the bottom of the tube ½” up twice then hot glue to secure. This will be the bottom of the bag.

Step 4: Fill the gift bag, then pinch the top of the tube in the opposite orientation of the bottom of the bag. Fold down the top twice.

Step 5: Use an x-acto knife to carefully cut two slits on the top fold. Insert a sword party pick through the slits to close the bag.

Step 6: Print out the pirate gift tags and cut out. Punch a hole at the top of the tag and thread twine through it. Use a needle to pull the twine through the slits at the top of the bag, then knot to secure. Trim off any extra twine. Time to get your pirate party started!
