These woven heart-shaped party favour bags are also known as Danish Sweethearts.
You only need two pieces of paper of choice to make these pretty heart shaped bags.
Cut the two pieces of paper in equal sized shapes as shown on the diagram, fold each shape in half and cut a slot in each.
The size of the hearts will depend on the size of your paper shapes, the only thing to keep in mind is that after you have folded them, the length of the cut to slot them together, should be the same length as the folded edge.
The two big hearts in the photo had a size of 10 cm, the smaller ones 6 cm and 4,5 cm.
Follow the diagram to interlace the two paper shapes
Here’s how the bag looks when you open it up.
Punch a hole in the center of each side and thread with narrow ribbon, or cut a length of paper and glue on the inside for handles.
You can then fill the heart shaped bags with small party favours.
Idea: The 6 cm hearts can be used for party invitation envelopes. Write your invitation on a smaller heart-shaped card, insert and close the heart-shaped envelope with a pretty metal brad. (link opens in a new window)
