I’m sure you’ve seen these super cute Treat Bags that Dollar Tree makes, right? I’ve seen Valentines ones and Easter ones, but I bet they make them for other occasions too.
At this point I’ve actually made THREE of these banners! Two Valentines ones…….this one in this blog post that I made last year with the pink hearts, and then I made one this year with the red xoxo treat bags.
I also made an Easter Bunny one last year for a total of THREE treat bag banners! Can we say obsessed?

How to Make a Dollar Tree Valentines Day Treat Bag Banner
I made this Treat Bag Banner on video. So you can WATCH the tutorial by clicking below.
Prepare your treat bags by cutting off the ties, and then gluing them shut (you don’t HAVE to glue them shut but I did).
Then glue a strip of ribbon across the top of each. I used pink and red lips ribbon.
Next, trace your wood hearts onto your chosen scrapbook paper, cut them out, and then Mod Podge them to each of the hearts.
I did two of the hearts with this pink and black leopard paper…
And two of them with this black and white striped glitter paper…
Now glue the treat bags and the hearts across a piece of twine, leaving enough room in between each one to tie the fabric/ribbon. I left about 2-3″.
Here is the pattern that I glued the items on–> Pink Leopard Heart – Treat Bag – Black Striped Heart – Treat Bag – Pink Leopard Heart – Treat Bag – Black Striped Heart.
Next, cut or rip strips of fabric and/or ribbon about 5″ long. Then tie them in a know around the twine in between each heart/treat bag.
I added in some strips of lace as well. It was a tad hard to tie but it worked.
That’s it, that’s all! Here she is all done!
This would look adorable on a mantle or a bookshelf, or even across a Valentines Coffee Bar if you have one.
Here it is hung up in my old apartment with alllllllll of my other Valentines crafts I made. How cure is that Pink Buffalo Check Heart and the Black and White Striped Layered Heart Frame?!
