Reindeer Food Christmas Bag Topper

Sprinkling reindeer food is one of my favorite Christmas traditions, and adding a printable bag topper just makes it more special.

Supplies needed:

Download the Christmas bag topper below, there are 2 per page.

cardstock
scissors (or paper cutter)
stapler
Sandwich zip-top bags (6.5 x 5.78 inch)

Directions

Cut the 2 bag toppers out, and then fold each one in half.

Add the reindeer food to the sandwich bags, and seal them properly!

You can probably make this a week or two before Christmas Eve, I make ours the night before Christmas Eve so I can add it to the Christmas Eve box.

Write who the reindeer food is from, I always say it is from our elf, Twinkletoes.

Grab the stapler and add 2 staples on either side of the bag.

Hey, presto! Your reindeer food is done!
