How to make a donut bar with donut bags

Donut bars are popular right now and donut bags add a cute touch to this fun food bar.

If you haven’t seen my donut bar post yet, you can see it here.

What you’ll need to make donut bags for your donut bar:

Donut bags – I got these donut bags at Amazon for a great price.
Avery labels – There are many sizes that will work.
- I used these 2×2 labels on some of my donut bags.
- I also used these 2×4 labels on some of the other donut bags.
Paper trimmer
Paper punch to create a decorative edge – This isn’t the exact one I used, but it is similar.

Trim donut bags to 7 inches.

I used a paper trimmer to quickly trim the 9-inch tall bag down to 7 inches. I probably didn’t need to do this step, but I wanted the bags to be sized best for a donut and they were a little bit longer than necessary.

Use a border paper punch along the top of the bag to give a decorative flair to the bags.

Design the labels.

To design your Avery labels, go to the avery.com/print URL. This is where you want to start because they have MANY templates you can pick from to design a great label for any project.

You simply type in the Avery label number shown on the packaging of your Avery labels

Select Start Designing.

You’ll see dozens and dozen of designs you can pick from. And within the design you can modify the text and even change design aspects like colors.

This is one of the templates I chose.

Print the labels.

And here are my printed labels.

Put the labels on the donut bags.

And the donut in the bag! YUM!

I also made the labels below for some of the donut bags. After I finished putting my first batch of labels on the donut bags, I decided that I wanted the labels to be more personalized (with the girls’ name on them).
