How to Make Printable Nativity Snack Bags
Our printable nativity snack bag and discussion cards are free for you to download and use. Please do not sell them. The gospel is a gift, but it cost God a great deal. I encourage you to share the gift with others, and these nativity snack bags are a great conversation starter.
Start by downloading our free printable design – it includes the nativity snack bags design and insert.
Before printing, check your settings. Brochure paper is thinner than. regular printer paper. We recommend a couple of changes to your settings.
Consider the following settings :
- Paper Type – Specialty paper – Photo Paper Glossy ( woding is dependent on printer brand)
- Quality – Best or High
- Fill Page – make sure it is also borderless
- Paper Size – US Letter( 8.5 by 11) or (216 by 279mm)
- Layout – check to make sure it’s the right layout
- Make sure the paper is placed in your printer correctly. The print should appear on the shiny side.
After printing: Fold the paper so that the back seam overlaps slightly (just enough for the tape), creating crease lines.
Run a line of tape across the top and the bottom.
While the paper is lying flat, lay a plastic zipper bag in the center, in between the crease lines.
Run a line of tape along one side of the center back seam.
Fold the sides over and press the taped areas to adhere.
Using a paper crimper, crimp both the bottom and top edges of the snack bag. Be careful not to go too far along the top. The zipper portion of the bag is too thick to go through the crimper rolls.
Unzip the zipper bag and add the nativity-themed treats.
Trim the conversation inserts and place them in the bags.
Zip up and hand out.
Tips and FAQs
Candy Substitutions
Feel free to substitute candy with any candy or crackers that are the proper shape. For example, star-shaped shortbread cookies are an amazing substitute for the star candy. You may want to individually wrap cookies or some sticky candies to prevent a messy bag of candy. Small candy zipper bags are great options. You can find them at most bulk stores or craft stores in the candy-making or jewellery supplies area
Making Nativity Snack Bags Non-Resealable Bags
Follow all assembly steps, omitting the addition of the bag. When gluing the edges of the bag, apply the strip of glue across the top of the bag after you have added the candy. You may need scissors to open the bag, she shares. Resealable is ideally the easy way to go, but sometimes insert bags can be hard to find.
