Cowboy Boot Favor Bags!

To make these you are going to need the following items:
1. Brown Paper Bags - ( I bought mine at Walmart for like $2)
2. Twine - (Walmart $3)
3. Clothes Pins (Walmart - pack of 50 for $1 - found mine in the "home improvement" section rather than the craft section for half the price - same thing)
4. Brown,Gold, and White Card Stock - ( had on hand, probably bought it at Michaels)
5. Bandana Image that I printed off of a website, that I can no longer find :(
6. Scissors
7. Glue

To start I sketched out a boot shape on a paper bag. I cut it out. Now I had a template to use. If you are not good at sketching, there are hundreds of templates on the Internet, Just google "boot template" and a ton will come up.

Now that the template is made, its as simple as tracing and cutting out. Just place your template in a paper bag and cut it out. Each paper bag will make 2 boots. I drew the sole of the boot, the heel but that is just an extra step.. it looks good without it too.

Now glue the boot to the paper bag. I used a glue stick but any glue will work.

Now that the bag is done. I started working on the bandana clothes pins.

I printed out the image. Cut the edge and adhered it to the clothes pin. Very Simple!

To make the spur, I used the gold card stock. Cut a 1'' x 6'' strip. I cut a notch about on inch from the right side. I found a Star template and cut it out for the spiky part. Not exactly the right name but you know what I am talking about.

For the label. I used my Cricut to cut out the brown tags, If you do not have one, you can but pre-made tags from Michaels or any craft store. I made a label from word and clued it to the tag.

Once all complete. I folded my bag over once, wrapped twine around and and clipped the tag on the bag with the bandana clothes pin.




Hope that this give you an idea on how to make these or if anything; inspiration for ideas of your own.
Have a great day!
