Conference Candy Bags

I love the blog, MADE. It is fantastic; check it out if you haven't ever been there before.
When I saw these cute bags on her blog, I immediately put them on my projects list. After looking at them a second time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
Last General Conference, I put together some bags to keep the kids entertained (after all, 8 hours of church is a lot!).
I thought I would add something fun each Conference to keep things exciting. One of my kids favorite parts of Conference is unlimited M&M's. Perfect! A cute little bag to hold their chocolate.
I've never made bags with the zipper like this. They are so easy and go together very quickly. This was also my first time working with plastic; a little tricky on the sewing machine, but it came together in the end. I think they turned out very cute and handy for my first go-around.

  1. I need to find Carol and have her look at your blog. I think we can both take a tiny bit of credit that you are such a good seamstress, but mostly it's just you being brave and creative! Wow, is all I have to say! You can teach me a thing or two! I want some of those cute zippered bags. Teach me how when you I get home!

  2. You're a cool mom. I just make my kids sit there quietly staring at the TV.
