Picnic Party in the Park

These charming picnic lunch bags are just the sweetest thing since…well… sliced bread, I think. Fun text and forks that clip to the bags take them over the top. Jordan Ferney, over at Oh Happy Day, does it again! Love this.

She has step-by-step instructions for making your own. We see these sweet lunch sacks gracing a picnic blanket, or at a party for an easy-to-serve buffet lunch. They’d also make adorable favor bags for a cooking themed party!
