Step-by-step
Step 1
Insert the template (optional) into the paper bag, making sure the lettering shows through. Using the gel roller, transfer the words onto the paper bag and colour in. Add some little red hearts to liven up the look of the design.
Step 2
Fill the bag with confetti hearts. Cut a slit near the top edge of the bag and push the straw through, leaving a short section sticking out.
Step 3
Fold over the edge of the bag and seal it all the way round with sticky tape.
Step 4
Before you present the gift, blow up the bag. When the bag is popped it'll release a loud bang and a shower of hearts!
