Treat Bag Topper SVG

Thanks in a fold

The party ends, the guests head home, and each one gets a little bag. This topper folds over the top of the bag to close it and say thank you. It is a tall red rectangle with a dashed fold across the middle and a scalloped bottom edge. The top half is cut with rows of small stars. The lower half carries a yellow panel that reads THANKS FOR in small capitals above a big, rounded Coming!, with a blue star and a green star just above the panel.

Four small holes sit near the fold, two on each side. When the topper is folded, they line up, so a staple, a brad or a ribbon can go straight through.

Folding note

The fold is a row of short dashed cuts, so there’s no need for a scoring tool, though the fold is slightly weaker than a scored line. We have not folded and tested this topper on a bag, so cut one from scrap card first and check the fit.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 22 pieces and 35 cut-outs. The red topper is the main piece; the yellow panel, lettering and two stars sit on top. Most of the cut-outs are the star windows, the holes and the fold dashes, along with the letter centers. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Red (cherry red): the topper itself
• Yellow (golden yellow): the panel behind the words
• Lettering (deep navy): THANKS FOR Coming!
• Blue (cobalt): the small star on the left
• Green (grass green): the small star on the right

Sizing to a bag

Set the width a little wider than the top of your bag, since the topper is about as wide as the whole design.

Under 5 inches the stars and the THANKS FOR line get too small.

Assembling

1. Cut the topper from 80 lb card and the panel, words and stars from their colors.
2. Glue the panel, lettering and stars onto the lower half.
3. Fill the bag and fold its top edge down once.
4. Fold the topper over the bag top, with the starry half at the back.
5. Staple through the lined-up holes, or thread a ribbon and tie a bow.

Keep sweets in a sealed bag; the topper should sit on the outside.

Variations

Back the stars with tissue or vellum for a light-catching effect. Change the colors with our guide to changing SVG colors, or print it all and cut the outline with Print Then Cut.
