DIY, S'mores Kit

This weekend my family and I celebrated my dad’s 61st birthday at the beach, and when there’s beach, fire, and good company—there are s’mores! I’d planned on making these s’more kits when I found out we were going to beach for his birthday, and when I started prepping them the night before I thought this would be too cute NOT to share on my blog.  

Since I’m a blogger I tend to have some pretty random things on hand—for DIY’s and such. So when I was creating these S’more Kits I pulled out all the favors boxes and bags I had in my closet. I ended up having two types of treat bags, and a set of gable boxes. I first tried the gable box but quickly discovered that the full size Hersey bars didn’t fit in that box—so I tried out the 5 x 7 Kraft bags and they seemed to fit nicely. Not only did all the s’more ingredients fit great into the Kraft favor bags—they also seemed perfect for a male’s birthday party. 
I used my Lawn Fawn alphabet stamp set, Milo’s ABCs, to create the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment; and, I used the ‘Dad’ sentiment from the Avery Elle stamp set, The Man, to complete the ‘Happy Birthday Dad’ on the bag. I think it came out really nice. To the right of the bags I show how I organized the chocolate bar, crackers, and marshmallows into the treat bag. There is enough for two S’mores in each package. 
Lastly, I closed them by folding the top of the treat bag over, and I created a pennant flag with a ‘S’more?’ sentiment. My dad is known for cracking cheesy jokes—the kind that are so unfunny that they become super funny, haha. So I thought this pun would be cute.

Well I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY!
