Annie Birthday Party Favor Bags: Easy DIY Red Dress Treat Bags
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
When we were putting together ideas for an Annie-themed birthday party, we knew we had to make something inspired by Annie's famous red dress.
We found a printable Annie Favor Bag template that made it so easy to create these DIY Annie party favor bags from basic craft supplies. We filled them with treats and they were a big hit with the kids.
If you're planning an Annie birthday party, these little treat bags are a great way to tie the theme together and send guests home with something memorable.
Supplies Needed
This project is so quick and easy and the supplies are so simple!
- Printouts of this Annie Favor Bags Template from Etsy
- Red paper lunch/favor bags
- Scissors
- Full-sheet sticker paper (or regular paper and a glue stick)
- Monofilament line or gold thread.
How to Make Annie Dress Favor Bags
Step 1: Print the templates
Just print the templates onto sticker paper.
You can even choose from light or dark skin colors to suit different guests or honor the stars from the different Annie movies.
Step 2: Cut out the pieces
Use scissors to cut out the collars, belts, and lockets.
Step 4: Prep the bags
Go ahead and fold over the top inch or two of your Red paper lunch/favor bags to reserve that part for closing the bag later.
(This will make sense in a minute when you add the collar... if you put it all the way at the top, you won't be able to close the bag without messing up the design!)
Step 3: Stick the pieces onto the bags
From here all you need to do is stick the pieces onto the bag. Put the locket in place first, with a piece of the filament or gold thread behind it to look like a chain. Then put the collar on top. The belt around the middle finishes it off!
Now your bag are ready to fill with goodies!
What to Put Inside Annie Favor Bags
Once the bags are decorated, you can fill them with snacks, treats, or party favors.
- Annie-themed stickers
- Ring Pops or other candy
- Gold locket necklace or costume jewelry
- Popcorn (either popped or mini microwave bags
- Lunch if the party includes a meal
- Hair bows

These are so cute. What a great idea. The bag makes me think of a Raggedy Ann theme too.
This is just what I've been looking for! We have a group of moms and daughters going to see Annie The Musical in April, and this will be so fun to give the girls! Thanks!
