With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I'm sure your getting all of your last minute dinner and party preparation in order. One largely over looked item for dinner guests are take home or "leftover" bags.

There are so many options out there for personalizing your leftovers bags. But if you find yourself in the eleventh hour of dinner planning and have no time to run out to the store and find special take out bags, no need to worry. Here is a quick and easy way to add some festivity and to personalize your guests leftovers.

What You Need

  • Any size brown paper bag. (The larger, the better)
  • Chalk
  • Chalkboard tags ($1, Target)

How to Make It

  • Take the paper bag and punch out a hole at the top of the bag. If you don't have a hole puncher, just use a pen and press the point through to make a hole.
  • Take the chalkboard tag and chalk. Write your guests name and a funny or cute note if there's room
  • Un-tie the string and fish the string through the whole in the paper bag. Re-tie string.
  • Place on the side for your guests to add what they want to there bag.

 It's that easy. The whole process took me less than 5 minutes to make. This is even a fun project that you can have the kids do while your meal prepping.
