Fall Themed Treat Packaging and A Huge Favor Please?

I 'm still on my little blogging hiatus {really!} but I just had to share with you a fun and simple fall food packaging idea before winter sneaks up on us! My daughter's class was studying apples last week and the teacher asked parents to send in apple treats if possible. I decided to make my girls' favorite muffin recipe - cinnamon apple! I wanted to make them a little more special since fall is my absolute favorite time of year...and because kids love things that are fun and unexpected.I had a nice little "pile of leaves" for my daughter to take to school So I ran to Wal-mart and grabbed a couple of bags of silk/fabric fall leaves {a dollar for a bag of 80 leaves}, some twine, and some plastic treat bags. In no time flat, I had a nice little "pile of leaves" for my daughter to take to school and share with her class.

With a hole punch, I just punched a hole at the top of the leaves, fed the twine through, and then tied up the muffin filled bags. The bags I used were pretty long, so instead of cutting them, I just folded them over. This added a little more "poof" to the top, which I liked.








I also made some mint chocolate chip cookies for my other daughter and packaged them much the same way using a different type of plastic bag. I punched a hole in the top of the bag, fed the twine with the leaf through, and tied it off with a simple knot.





I love how packaged treats look, don't you?
