Adorable & Reusable Valentine’s Day Treat Bags!

I just saw these Drawstring Bags over at My Bella Love’s Etsy shop and they’re so flipping swoon worthy.

It was hard to choose my favorite bag designs (all of them are so darn cute), so I grabbed some that I think would work well for Valentine’s Day.

Bags are handmade and sized for small items like jewelry, hair clips, candy, bridesmaid gifts, dried lavender, soaps, bath salts, gift cards, small travel items, and such. The satin ribbon drawstring is heat treated so it will not fray. Keep on reading this post!
