For the past couple of years, Mother's Day gifts (that I give to my mother and sister) seem to include something that I love and/or enjoy using. This year, it was True Lemon packets. These things get used a LOT in my house. There's even a lime flavor that tastes DELICIOUS--especially in my chicken salad!
Little packets of lemon-y crystals wouldn't be too exciting, though, so they needed a cute package. Cue the little chip bag.
These bags are ridiculously simple to design on the computer. I took information from the box, and below is a screenshot of my design:
The design was printed onto white cardstock. Previously, I have used one full sheet of cardstock to make a chip bag but, since the lemon packets were so small, I was able to print two "bags" on one sheet. Once the printed 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardstock was laid out, I placed adhesive on one short side and folded the other short side so that it rested on the adhesive. I then used liquid adhesive to close one of the ends, fill the bag with the lemon packets, and then liquid adhesive was used to seal the top. A crimper tool was used on the top and bottom to make the bag look authentic. 😉

Love it! You are so clever and I enjoy all your posts. My DIL has mentioned getting gifts that they can use and this is one I am going to try. Thanks for sharing
