Well hello! I'm Maritza and you can find me over at the little paper-happy blog,

Maritza Lisa

. I am sooo happy to be here. Today's DIY is all about tattoos and treat bags. How perfect are these for hosting little events (as place cards) or giving little treats to loved ones?

You need Silhouette Studio (or similar), a printer,

temporary tattoo paper

, a

scraper

(or similar tool),

and muslin

treat bags.

1: Create your text/names and then mirror them (I typed mine, added a frame and then mirrored right)

2. Print the text onto the glossy side of the tattoo paper (there are little pink marks on the non-printable side)

3. Wait about 10

15 minutes for the ink to dry, then apply the adhesive sheet onto the top of the tattoo paper (ink side up), using your scraper to smooth it out

4: Cut very closely around the text, then peel away the clear adhesive layer
