Mini Swag Bags

Please don't forget to enter my Royal Design Studio Giveaway.  It ends today! Giveaway is now closed.

These mini swag bags were so fun and easy to make so I thought I would share the tutorial with you.


When going to Snap I decided very last minute to stay in a hotel with a bunch of other girls and wanted to make up a cute mini swag bag for my roomies.  Since the conference was the very next day it needed to be something I could pull together quick.  These bags turned out so cute and were so quick to make.

I was given this fantastic stencil by Royal Design Studio and one of the flower stencils worked perfect for what I had in mind.


So along with the stencil you will need white paper bags and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  The two colors of Glimmer Mist that I used were Haunted Shadow and Peach Delight.


Now lay your stencil on your bag and spray it with the glimmer mist. I just layed it on the concrete of our driveway - I don't think my husband was too thrilled with that as it left a mark.  But after several rain falls it eventually washed away :)

Place stencil on bag.

Spray with glimmer mist

Remove stencil - Ta Da!  Let dry!  By the way the mist washes very quickly and nicely off the stencil.

This one is sprayed in Peach Delight.

6 Mini swag bags are now all dry.

Add some swag!  I put together an assortment of Making Memories cards/envelopes, paper and rubons.  Then tied them up in a cute tulle bow.

Put your swag in your bag and tie with yellow tulle.
I have to say that I just loved how these turned out and my roomies seemed to like them as well!  I hope this inspires you to create something with a stencil.  It really is simple and easy!

  1. Even though I didn't room with y'all, I was so glad to get a bag! I've never actually used rub-ons before (I know, right?) so I have to come up with the right project for them. That stencil looks so easy to use--I'm always slightly afraid of stencils, but the glimmer mist looks fun! :-)

    1. I am so glad you liked your bag Lori. Rubons are a lot of fun, my daughter and I use them for so many things. And yes using the stencil was super easy! I bought the glimmer mist a couple of years ago but just now am getting around to using it.
