Thumper Rabbit Inspired Easter Treat Bags | Spring Easter DIY Creativity | Easter Fun

Easter is just around the corner. I was at a school supply store recently and saw this "Bambi" story book, on the cover was Bambi the deer and his friend Thumper the rabbit. I remember this cute adorable rabbit character when I was a kid watching this animated movie. That gave me the inspiration and idea to do a "Thumper" theme Easter treat bag for the kids.

I made these treat bags as Easter treats for Lauren and my 2 nieces. I made mine mostly hand made but here I will share ways to create your own quickly and easily, I started planning and creating mine about 2-3 weeks before Easter. I use dark gray and light gray folders in making my treat bags, since I can't find any gray heavy weight paper in any stores near me, it's great that they worked out well for this DIY.  I made 4 rabbit treat bags for Lauren and my nieces.

CREATING THE TREAT BAGS + LINK TO FREE PRINTABLE!

For the treat bag, I use a blank printable gift bag template, Click Here To Check Out Free Printable Gift Bag & Box Templates. I used bag #1, these are small treat bags that is good for storing small treats such as chocolates, candies and other small non candy things.

If you choose to store non candy things, you can store about 2 to 3 small things in this bag, something like a key chain, small purse, sharpeners, hair clips and ties, small stickers, small stationery, etc. I had non-candy, Easter related small things and stuff inside the bags that will be useful not just on Easter but anytime after that.
