Mickey Mouse Goodie bags

These were by far my favorite. My mom and I had met a lady at a farmer's market who makes little bags like this, so I sort of stole the general idea from her. You could really do these for any theme you wanted and I thought they lent themselves well to a Mickey Mouse!
 Start with black paper lunch sacks. I got mine on Amazon, but you can get them in most colors at any party supply store.
 Cut the top off to make it the size you want it to be.
 Add a yellow strip to the bottom.
 Cut a piece of black cardstock the same width of the bag and however big it needs to be to fold over the top of the bag, This will be the closure.
 Add a red piece of cardstock big enough to cover the front of the bag. Remember to leave a bit of yellow showing at the bottom. Add two pieces of Velcro, hooks on one side and loops on the other, this will fasten your bag closed. I bought mine pre-cut like this at Joanns. If you buy a roll of Velcro, which is more cost effective and what I use for my car seat covers, make sure to cut them evenly. The lady at the farmer's market didn't cut hers evenly and it was obvious...
 Next, add a couple ears on the top and two white buttons (I Mod Podged these on because the glue wasn't really holding very well) and you are set!
Fill them up with fun little toys or candy or stickers (we did all three) and they make great goodie bags!
